A. Yes You have heard it right because that is what the doctor say but that’s not the right pattern to go for it you should feed your child only when your child is demanding for it and also I’m just simply going to advise you do not force feed your child by trying to wake up yours I let your child sleep even if your child is sleeping for a straight six hours
