Being fed at night?: Please ask your question again, but word it differently to make it more clear. Most babies can sleep through the night at age 4 months, which means they do not need to eat from about 11:00 P.M. To 6:00 A.M. Secondly, a baby who is sleeping at night should be left alone. Finally, if nobody feeds the baby at night, then the baby will be quite hungry by morning and will want to drink.
