If I feed my baby extra in the evening, will it help him sleep through without waking?

No, feeding more in the evening does not make your baby sleep through the night without waking. According to current pediatric guidance, this approach usually doesn't work because night wakings are most often a natural part of babies' sleep cycles rather than hunger — babies naturally enter light sleep phases every 2-4 hours where waking is normal. Extra feeding just raises reflux, gas, or discomfort risk.
More effective ways to support better unbroken nights are: adequate daytime feeding, a consistent bedtime routine, and letting your baby develop self-soothing skills. If he's still struggling to gain weight, seems uncomfortable, or wakes frequently, I recommend consulting your pediatrician.
