Patient's question:
About 3 hours before noon, he ate about every 3 hours. The doctor also said one should eat 8 times, which is every 3 hours. But the past two days, he slept for a long time, about 5-6 hours. I didn’t pay attention to him and let him sleep. Later, a friend said, "You can’t do this. You need to wake him up and feed him. You can’t feed him on time."Doctor's answer:
Hello, there's no need to force feeding times; it's best to be flexible. If you frequently wake the child to feed, it can also affect their sleep, which isn't ideal.Recommendation: It's suggested to set feeding times based on the child's own habits. Some children may not feed much during the night, as they consume less while sleeping and don't get easily hungry. Just feed them promptly when they show signs of wanting to nurse.
