A. it's fine you have to give only demand feeding to the child that is whenever the child feels hungry you can give milk to the child and the child will take the milk according to the need and then will leave the milk. if the child is taking more xmilk you can offer milk in more quantity with intermittent burping . there is no need to to go for hourly feeding pattern. also there is no need to wake up the child from sleep if the weight of the child is within normal limits .

A. Siri it is not a very good habit to child is having feeling every one hour because this way either your child cannot sleep properly neither can you get a rest so it’s not a good habit should be minimum of 2 to 3 hours with a child should be asking feed in such good to consult a lactation doctor ones
