Should a 3-month-old be woken up at night to feed?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

If a 3-month-old is gaining weight well and the doctor says otherwise, the baby does not need to be woken to feed at night. At this age, most babies can manage one 5-6 hour sleep stretch through the night. If the baby wakes on their own and cries, of course you feed them, but if they're sleeping, letting them sleep is better for both their development and your rest.

The situation may be different in premature, low birth weight, or slow-weight-gain babies — in these cases, follow your pediatrician's recommendation.
