formula question????

Babies this young need their food when the need it -- their stomachs just aren't big enough to accommodate the fuel for such a long nighttime stretch, especially if she is hitting a growth spurt. If she is acting like she is starving, she probably is genuinely hungry. Nurse right before bed, ...
