Wake him for a feeding in the first months, always

Myth. If the baby is growing and gaining weight properly, you do not need to wake him either during the day or at dawn. Follow the scheme of free demand and offer whenever your child wants. But the two cases are exceptions. In the first four weeks, some pediatricians recommend that you wake the baby if he does not wake up to nurse every three / four hours. If this time is exceeded, it can develop hypoglycemia (low amount of sugar in the blood), which may lead to a profound sleepiness, and in some cases may lead to neurological damage. Another case that deserves attention are premature babies. If you need to wake him up, change the outfit is enough for him to open his eyes.
