A. Feed on demand, it's okay if baby sleeps. My baby was on mixed feed and I gave her Formula milk in the night as I started working from 2nd month onwards so that night sleep was so important to me. till 6 mo I gave Aptamil Gold Stage 1 and moved to Stage 2 , her doctor suggested prebiotic HMO in formula milk that formulation is available in Aptamil Gold hence we opted for it, so 7 hrs and 9 hours sleep is fine .

A. you have to give only demand feeding to the child that is whenever the child feels hungry you can give milk to the child and the child will take the milk according to the need and then will leave the milk. if the child is taking more milk you can offer milk in more quantity with intermittent burping . z there is no need to to go for fixed feeding pattern. also there is no need to wake up the child from sleep if the weight of the child is within normal limits . also if the weighzt gain of the child every month is normal then no need to worry regarding the pattern of breastfeeding
