How often should i feed my 3 month old especially at night do i need to wake him for feeding as he can sleep the whole night?

Let them sleep: Most babies start to sleep through the night by 4 months of age. If your child wants to sleep, let them sleep. If they need to feed in the middle if the night, hopefully that will not need to be done for very much longer. I find that formula fed babies sleep through the night a little earlier than breast fed babies.
