2 months babe feeding and sleep pattern
Hello doctor
My son is 2 months old.he is 4.2 kg weight. He goes to sleep by 1 am in the morning and wakes up only by 6 am. Even though I wake him up in the middle for feeding he does not co operate.
My pediatrician said it's OK feed only on demand.I am afraid he may not gain weight in this method.Day time 6 am to 9 pm he takes 5 to 6 feeds minimum. Pls suggest.

He is missing out only one feed at night so no worries.If he puts on 1 kg per month for first three month ,passes urine 4-5 times in 24 hrs, not irritable between feeds he is doing well
