When to drop night feeds

My baby is 3 mth + now. Nowadays i wake him up if he slept longer than 6hrs at night. He drinks milk at 5.30 - 6pm. Went to bed at 7.30pm. I woke him up for milk at 10.30pm and 4.30am. My husband say i should wake him up maximum 4hrs. But i feel that i am disturbing his sleep. Mummies, how often should i wake a 3mth + old baby up for milk at night? When do u all drop nights feed for your babies?

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!
