I wouldn’t wake either, if he’s putting on weight he’s doing what all babies do naturally and go longer between feeds at night, some just do it faster than others 😊 x

My 5 month old daughter woke at 4am this morning (wasn’t unhappy just awake and noisy!) and my husband said she needed feeding.......she didn’t (because of her milk intolerance and being onto her 3rd prescription milk I keep track of volumes so I knew for definate she didn’t 😂) I’m the one with feeding anxiety in my house x

It’s hard isn’t it. Mine need to be made absolutely fresh as I put thickener in hers and if they sit for more than 10-15mins they go like porridge and there is no way that’s coming out of a teat 🙈 I’m hoping as she grows up this will all become a lot easier and we’ll forget how hard and anxious this all was! x

Hello. I have a 13 week old baby and she sleeps from 1/2am and wakes up at 8/9am. I give her last feed at about 12.30 or 1am and I dont wake her up during the night. Your right if baby is hungry they will wake up on their own demanding a feed. I let her sleep and I get an good nights rest too. As long as baby is happy, putting weight on then you dont need to wake them up every 4 hours

If he's having enough milk in total over the 24hrs/gaining weight well then there's no reason to.

I'd tell hubby to go wake him up and feed him if he feels so strongly 😄
