My baby sometimes is so deep in sleep that he doesn’t demand feed for 5-6 hrs. There are days where he will feed for only 5-7 minutes in about 2 hrs and then sleep. And there are some days wherein he will feed for 10-15 minutes in about an hour. How do I create a balance. Is it okay that a 2.5 month old baby doesn’t demand feed on some days? Is it okay to wake him up for a feed every 2 hrs?
