How many times should an 11-month-old eat at night?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

An 11-month-old typically doesn't need nighttime feeding. By this age, most babies get enough calories during the day (3 main meals plus snacks plus breast milk or formula) to sleep 10-12 hours straight through the night.

If your baby still wakes at night, the cause is usually habit or minor discomfort (teething, discomfort) rather than actual hunger. At this point, nighttime soothing (patting the back, reassurance) often works instead of feeding. Some babies do continue one nighttime feed for comfort, which is developmentally fine — but it's becoming a comfort habit rather than a nutritional need.

If nighttime feeding persists and your baby's daytime appetite and weight are normal, gradually reducing it with your pediatrician's guidance is reasonable.
