A. dear mum, there is no need to wake up your baby at night for feeding. you should feed as per your baby's demand that is whenever baby wants and how much baby wants.

A. But my baby hardly demand for feed.. I used to feed her after 3-4 hours of previous feeding and at night after the last feed (basically on morning 6 am approx) the gap I maintain is maximum 5 hours. Should I change my pattern?
