Should a 1 month old baby be woken for nighttime feeding?

The general rule for nighttime feeding in a 1-month-old is: if the baby wakes on their own, feed them; if they don't wake and haven't reached birth weight yet or are gaining slowly, wake them every 3-4 hours for feeding. If your baby has returned to birth weight and is gaining well, there's no need to wake them at night — let them sleep, and they'll wake when hungry. At this age, most babies don't sleep longer than 3-4 hours anyway, so in practice most families feed based on natural waking. Working with your pediatrician on weight monitoring gives you the safest approach.
