Feeding at night
Hello,
Due to physical issues we are formula feeding my nearly 3 month old daughter.
We feed her at every 3 to 3.5 hrs interval as recommended.
Should we wake up our baby at night for a feed or what is the longest stretch we can let her sleep.
Please guide

A 3 months old baby cannot tolerate a fasting of more than 4-6 hours. You shud wake her up to feed her. Else her sugar level can drop and she can develop complications
