A. Ma’am you three hours is a very good time that your child is maintaining here are the kids who wake up every one hour to take a feed in the night and the taking feed every three hours is very normal for a child to the age of 1 to 1 1/2 year there is nothing wrong with the behaviour

Q. My family says that they used to let a baby sleep for good 5-6 hours as they grow in sleep. But now it is said that we must wake them up every 3-4 hours at least for feed. I am really confused. Once in 2-3 days my 2 month daughter tends to sleep for 6 hours straight. Should I let this happen and let her sleep for straight 6 hours ? Other times in the day she is only taking power naps. Night time she will sleep straight for 4-5 hours and wake up automatically for feed. Please suggest
