My 5 month old baby girl for the past few days seems to be sleeping for a longer duration of 6 hours at night at a stretch. we feed her mother's milk at night however baby goes off to sleep, however at times she keeps on moving her lips as if she is sucking during her sleep. does it mean baby is still hungry? also should we wake up the baby and feed her after 3 to 4 hours milk if baby is sleeping.
