# of calories: Baby's brains and bodies can sense how many calories are delivered to it in 24 hour cycles. If the body is not getting enough calories during the daytime, the brain will wake a baby at night to request more food. You can try gradually increasing the feeding amounts during the day or try and get one extra feed worked in during the day, so body won't want or need those calories at night.
