Do you wake your baby up for night feed?

Hi, do you need to wake a 5 months old for night feed? Or do you wait for baby to cue, ie. if they stir or wake in the middle of the night for feed, and if they do not wake, it is alright to just let baby sleep through from 7pm-8am? #1stimemom #caretips

I personally feel 7pm-8am is quite long. So I’ll give another feeding. If my baby last feeding time is between 7pm -10pm, I’ll probably feed him again. Currently, my 5 months old baby can sleep through the night from 9pm to 6am. If we feed him at 12am, he will wake up at about 6:30am. So if we don’t give him another feed between his sleep, he might cry at 4am etc for milk. (This timing is difficult for parents to wake up 😅)
