I m worried been a first-time mom..is it healthy for a 5months old baby to sleep through the nite without waking up for feed? He is not sick but he is

It is normal to sleep through the night for some babies but you need to wake the baby to feed. Try and breastfeed during the night at least every 3 hours that is like 2 or 3 times during the night. The baby does not need to wake up fully to breastfeed.
A baby who sleeps for 12 hours or not during the night without feeding is at risk of hypoglycaemia which can cause brain damage whether detected or not.

Please do not use any drugs or medications. No teething drugs should be administered.
Don't do self medication. Just do proper hygiene to prevent child from having diarrhoea or infection. Teething doesn't require drugs. It's a normal physiological Process.
