Night milk usually refers to breast milk or formula that is fed to the baby during bedtime at night. There is no strict time frame for night feeding, as each baby's routine may vary. Generally speaking, feeding between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. is considered night feeding.
However, for newborns, their routines have not yet been formed, so they need to feed more frequently. In general, newborns need to be fed every 3 hours or so, day and night. As the baby grows, the frequency of night feeds gradually decreases.
At around 6 months of age, parents can gradually wean off night milk and start adding complementary foods. Night-weaning helps to improve the baby's sleep quality, promote the secretion of growth hormone, and is conducive to the healthy growth of the baby.
The time frame for night feeds varies depending on the baby's age and routine. Parents need to determine the time and frequency of night milk according to the actual situation of the baby, and gradually wean off the night milk at the appropriate time. At the same time, parents also need to pay attention to the amount and position of feeding, to ensure that the baby can fully absorb the nutrients and maintain a comfortable position.
