A. dear parent, it is fine at times to not burp. keeping the head and chest at a level higher than stomach also helps in digestion and reduces the chances of vomit.

Q. My family says that they used to let a baby sleep for good 5-6 hours as they grow in sleep. But now it is said that we must wake them up every 3-4 hours at least for feed. I am really confused. Once in 2-3 days my 2 month daughter tends to sleep for 6 hours straight. Should I let this happen and let her sleep for straight 6 hours ? Other times in the day she is only taking power naps. Night time she will sleep straight for 4-5 hours and wake up automatically for feed. Please suggest
