Should I wake my baby for night feeds?

Updated by SGH-AHPEDIA
Generally, healthy babies will wake when hungry, so you don't need to wake them for scheduled night feeds. However, very young babies (first few weeks) or those with specific medical conditions may need more frequent feeding. Follow your baby's natural rhythm while ensuring they're gaining weight appropriately. Consult your healthcare provider if you're concerned about long stretches without feeding.
