A. Usually Dr say that for initial 60 days yes you should feed your child this way but I just feel that if the child is sleeping for 4 to 5 hours at a stretch you don’t need to feed the child with the child is full that is why your child is sleeping so I would suggest you to feed the child on demand that’s actually going to be more practical approach

Q. #asktheexpert Hi Doctor, My baby is 66 days old now. I was advised to feed him once in every 2 to 3 hours for first 2 months. Should I continue to feed him in the same time interval or as per his demand. I am asking this because his sleep cycle has changed now compared to first 2 months. He is sleeping for 4 to 5 hours at a stretch for last 2 weeks. But I am waking him up every 2 hours to feed him. So I am a bit concerned if I am disturbing his sleep. So please let me know if I should feed him as per his demand or every 2 to 3 hours.
