Night feed for newborn
My Baby is 57 days old. Birth weight 2.05kg currently- 3.5kg late preterm .he exhibits jitteriness around 5 times a day. He takes around 9 - 11 feeds in 24 hours timeframe. He doesn't wakeup for night feed. I mostly try to wake him up 3 hours once for night feed but few days it crosses 4 hours also but he sleeps well. The feeding time also has reduced from 15 mins to 10 mins. Can I wait for him to wake up for night feed and demand feed or should I definitely wake him up 2 hours once. His pee count is around 10 and poop count times .please clarify.

You can feed on demand. There's no need to wake him up every 3 hours. After 1st 10 days of life, if everything else is fine, its only feeding on demand.
