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

Sleep Cycle in smaller babies is very different and they have a certain pattern initially  which becomes rergularize at around 6 to 8 months of age and if the baby is comfortable with no irritability because of infantile colic nasal blockage any regurggitation etc  you should not worry just give a comfortable position to the baby and no medicine is required.

Yes That’s true that you should let your child sleep if your child is sleeping for 5 to 6 hours also at a stretch with Just during daytime or nighttime you should only be feeding your child when your child is awake and your child demands for it that’s the right way to go about it so don’t get confuse it’s very simple it’s just like us when we sleep we don’t take anything it’s a same thing with kids as well
