My baby used ti sleep continuously for 4 hrs during night. But yesterday he was waking up 1-2 hrs once for feed. Does this mean he is lacking from milk supply? ( I personally feel my milk supply has gone down in the past couple of days )

A. Dear ma’am, not necessarily. Baby can wake up for many reasons including disturbance, colic pain, dream, fear etc. breastfeeding is a way of comfort for them. So encourage skin to skin time
