My baby sleeps after a feed at night and doesn't again ask for milk for straight 6-8 hours. Is it alright for him to not feed for that long?

A. Dear mum, for your 7 months old baby, you can let your baby have a sound sleep and then feed on demand when baby wakes up. If baby is passing urine more than 6 to 8 times in 24 hours then feeding is adequate.
