my baby is 4months old. she hardly sleeps 2-3 hours in daytime( not at a stretch but 4-5 naps of 30-40minutes) but she sleeps well in night. my question is after how many hours I should wake her up for feeding during night? also she feels sleepy during daytime but she cries alot while sleeping and even after sleeping she wakes within 30-40 minutes. what could be the reason for same?

A. Dear mum, you should feed as per your baby’s demand, which is whenever baby wants and how much baby wants. You need not wake up your baby for breast feeding.
