Don’t disturb a sleeping baby! Your baby will naturally wake up when hungry. Otherwise, totally ok to let them sleep. I just let my baby sleep and will give her milk when she wakes up crying. As i introduce solids after 6 months, I can tell if her cries are for milk or just needed soothing. As my daughter go through growth spurts, sometimes she can go through weeks of sleeping through the night and some weeks where she will wake up twice for milk. So go with the flow!
Agree with another parent’s comment. My baby started sleeping through the night since 2.5mo. We gradually stopped the night feedings. Eventually; the last feeding was around 11pm. Unless baby didn’t take much milk during the day, we dream fed to ensure the minimum intake required.
I asked the same qs to my PD before (baby is 1mnth + now) - according to him no need to wake baby up for night feeds. But day time, yes, wake them up every 3-4hourly to ensure minimum milk intake as they need it for steady weight gain
My baby started sleeping longer hours at 2 months and slept thru the night at 2.5h. I let him be. Which was the best phase cause we finally gt to sleep longer!! They also need alot of sleep!!
If he is gaining weight steadily then there's no need to wake him up at night to feed unless he wakes up on his own at night and shows hunger cues then you can offer one feed
We started dropping night feeds when my LO was 3+ mths. LO started sleeping for longer stretches and we just let her sleep instead of waking her up or dream feeding
After 10 or 11pm feed, no need to wake him up for milk, unless he cried for milk. sleeping is very important development too.
I never wake my baby up unless he cry. I don’t think it’s needed to wake baby up , sleep is important for them.
i never wake my LO but feed on demand with mix of BM & FM
let the baby sleep, unless baby cry than feed
