    That’s different for every single baby.

    At first my son was up every 2-3 hours during the night and, yes, I did feed him every single time. He usually fell right back asleep after he was fed. He then started sleeping through the night at 8 weeks and now at almost 7 months is sleeping around 12 hours/night without waking.

    Every 2-3 hours. If your baby is old enough, put a tiny bit of baby cereal in the bottle and that might help.

    That depends on the age of the baby and if they are breast fed or bottle fed.

    My babies woke atleast twice a night and they were all breast fed.
