How many times should a 1 month old baby feed at night?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Nighttime feeding for a 1-month-old is quite individual, but in general terms: babies this age typically need 2 to 4 feedings at night. The reason is their stomach capacity is still tiny (about egg-sized) and breast milk digests quickly.

At this age, nighttime feeding is completely normal and expected. If your baby can sleep 4-5 hours without a feeding and that's a natural waking without you waking them, this can actually be a sign of healthy development. Baby-led feeding signals (crying, sucking movements) are what to follow — you don't need to wake a peacefully sleeping baby unless your doctor has advised otherwise.

Basically: 3-4 nighttime feedings are typical, though 2 is also possible. If weight gain is good and your baby is feeding well during the day, there's nothing to worry about.
