My son of 4 and half months is waking up 4-5 times in the night for breastfeeding. I was told that after 4 months he will be waking up only 2 or max 3 times for feeding which is not the case with my son. Is it normal?

A. Yes, You do not need a feeding schedule. Health professionals recommend "responsive" or "on demand" feeding – this means following your baby's cues and feeding them when they are hungry. Although most babies gradually settle into a feeding routine, they vary in how often they want to feed.
