My baby is 2 months old. I'm doing both breastfeeding and formula feed. Night around 2:30 he takes some feed and sleeps completely for next 6 hrs...I'm unable to wale him up for feed..even if I force feed formula he is rejecting and prioritizing sleep. My pediatric suggested me not to leave hum without feed for more than 4 hrs as he is underweight baby. His weight gain is consistent. please suggest me if leaving him without feed for 6 hrs is finr

A. Hello mom not to worry , let the baby sleep , as their is no point to wake him forcably and feed him as well.as in formula milk is quite filling in nature and that might be keeping him full.
