nighttime feeding for newborns?

A newborn's stomach is very small, so they need to be fed every 2-3 hours at night. In the first weeks, skipping nighttime feedings is important—it maintains your baby's blood sugar and supports weight gain. If your baby doesn't wake up, you can gently wake them and feed them or give formula if more than 3-4 hours have passed. Nighttime feedings usually become less frequent after 2-3 months, but during the newborn period, regular feeding is a need, not a habit.
