Patient's question:
The baby is 8 months old. Recently, I've been feeding them at midnight, which is annoying. They also don't cry or fuss at 9 or 10 in the morning. Before, they would still want a feeding around 4 or 5 in the morning, but now at 8 or 9, they wake up but don't cry or fuss—they just lick their hands. Is this a problem?Doctor's answer:
Babies around 8 months old can stop night nursing. Therefore, the current state of the baby does not indicate any problems. For an 8-month-old baby, it is recommended to have two milk feedings in the morning and evening, and three meals~ with flexibility. In total, this adds up to five feedings a day. Then, gradually wean off night nursing.The above advice is for the question "Baby is 8 months old, and has been nursing at midnight in recent days." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!!
