Q.

My baby girl is going to complete 5 months on 18th August. she is on formula milk. How many feed we should give to baby in 24 hours and how much should be gap between two feed? My baby sleeps at night around 11-11:30 pm after having one feed at around 10:30 or so and she doesn't demand feed for overnight. So we should give feed to her after 3-4 hour at night or should be given feed in the morning after 7-8 hours?
