It is showing your baby's age as one year. if this is true you doesn't have to feed the baby in the night after 11 p.m. maybe before you going to sleep you can feed the baby once and afterwards the baby will be fed only after 4-5 hours . until that time there should not be an issue .

Hi I can fully understand your worry.
Feed on demand.. But also we should know what is babies age and weight... if baby is small like 2.5 kg... you need to feed 2 hourly.
