How often do 1 month olds need to eat ?

Question

Im asking because my daughter only wakes up once during the night and then again at 6 , and in the hospital the nurse told me to not let 4 hours pass by but Im wondering if thats because my baby was just a newborn but my baby is a month now and last night she ate at 12 am and didnt wake up until 6 am to eat , idk if thats normal

Answer

They will wake up when they are hungry

Answer

You don't wake a sleeping baby, UNLESS... UNLESS the baby is not gaining weight STEADILY.

Answer

I never woke my son up to eat, I figured if he was sleeping he was ok and he's perfectly healthy and happy at 2 years old. Go with your instincts :)

Answer

As long as she is not acting like she is completely starving by the next feeding then I would say she is fine.

Answer

They say every 4 hrs still bit my daughter was the same way. At night she would feed about 11:30pm and then would sleep until 5:30ish before waking up to feed again. During the day she ate every 4 hrs though. She is about to turn 8 and is healthy as a horse! ☺️

Answer

I would say let her sleep. The only reason I would wake a sleeping baby to eat is if they were underweight or not gaining weight appropriately per my pediatrician.

Answer

When my daughter was a month old she would feed at 12 1230 and wouldn't be up until 530 6 to feed again and would go right back to sleep after I never woke her up to feed at two months old she was sleeping straigh threw the night and still never woke her up to feed she ate a lot during the day every 2-4 hours depending on her mood I always just feed my daughter when she was hungry and my doctor said she was right on track and she's now a year and a half and very healthy

Answer

My daughter two months old and her doctor said during the day don't let her go three hours without eating and at night it's okay to let her got four hours without eating. My daughter usually only wakes up once to eat.
