What Causes Waking Of Baby During Night?
I am breastfeeding, and my baby gets bottles during the day because I work. My 3 1/2 month old, who was sleeping 7-8 hours straight at night, has been waking up 2-3 times during the night to eat. Is it possible she isn t getting enough to eat during the day?

Hello,
It is very common for babies who used to sleep through the night to change their sleeping habits. This is not necessarily a sign of hunger. But just to be sure confirm from your baby's caretaker the amount of formula she is receiving during the day. If she is receiving adequate amount of formula then you need not worry. She may take sometime to get back to sleeping through the night. Just stick to a sleep routine.
Hope that helps.
