A. Dear mum, there is no harm in breastfeeding your baby at night and at other times when your baby demands. Baby needs at least 500 ml of milk and milk products every day. Breastfeeding till 2 years helps to improve the immunity of your child and provides better nutrition.

A. Go Full bottle feeding would be a better choice to go for and also it’s very normal for a child to wake up every 1 1/2 to 2 hours in the night till the age of 1 1/2 years to take a feed that’s normal so if you do not want to breastfeed then you can go ahead with a bottle feeding
