My LO is coming to 4 months. He is able to sleep for stretches of 4-6 hours at night.

However, my wife tells me that I should wake him up at 4hour for feeds nightly. She fear that he will develop gastric. Do I have to feed him every 4 hours or to let him sleep and only wake up when he is hungry. #pleasehelp #advicepls #firstbaby

I would count your lucky stars that baby can sleep for longer stretches! It’s ok to let him sleep and feed him only on cue. Or you could also opt to dream feed, which is to feed while baby continues to sleep. I don’t think you have to worry about gastric, you’d be the first to know if he’s hungry!
