My 46 day baby sleep through the night and demands feed after 5-6 hrs. during day he demands every 2 hr. so is it safe to let him steep without feed.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: This is perfectly normal for this age. As long as he is being fed every 2-3 hours during the day, he will be perfectly fine during the night.
