Sleep time

2023-11-09 00:21:24
My 3 month old takes feed and doesn't wake up in the night for the feed! How long should I leave without nursing ! Then after 4 hours I breastfeed him and he burps and there are spit outs too ! Should I do demand feed or feed every 3 hours ! Even in the day he takes feed for 5 mins and then sleeps back or plays. Is it something to be worried ? How often do I feed him ?
