Baby feeding at night
My baby is 3.5 month old. Should I have to wake him up at night for feed or he will wake up himself when he feel hungry. I am worried because he sleep for 3-4 or 5 hours at night without feeding. What to do?

At 2-3 month as of age when babies get adequate milk, they can sleep for 5-6 hours at a stretch. You don’t need to wake him up and feed. Weight gain and amount of urine passed are indirect indicators of adequate milk. By this age he should have gained a minimum of 2 kgs from birth weight and he should be passing atleast 6-8 urine per 24 hours. If that is there, nothing to worry.
