My baby is 10 weeks now and he is still waking up every two hours or lesser for milk ( shorter in the day time ) . He drinks about 80- 100 ml each time . Is it too much ? How can I lengthen the feeding time and let him sleep more esp at night ?

By two to three months most babies are stretching for 6 -8 hours before needing a night feed and then three hourly thereafter. If your baby wakes more than this, try to cluster feed in the evening before 8pm to top her up so she sleeps for longer. Two or three extra little snack feeds at this time can help. If he wakes consistently three hourly at night and yet is gaining good weight, you can start to stretch your little one with a dummy or a little water at the first night waking. Be sure to do all night feeds quietly and calmly.
