night feeding
Infant's nocturnal meal
Night feeding is the practice of feeding an infant during nighttime hours, typically while the baby wakes from sleep.
The term appears most often in parenting contexts discussing schedules and sleep training: The pediatrician said we could drop the night feeding at six months.
It can also refer to feeding animals or livestock after dark.
