How feeding usually goes at 3 months old
Many babies sleep longer at night now, and night feeds may ease. There's wide variation, though, so follow your own baby's rhythm rather than comparing.
What to keep an eye on
Babies grow more interested in their surroundings and may pause often mid-feed. A quiet space helps them focus.
