3 month old not demanding feeds

Hello, my 3 month old has started going long stretches between feeds. At night she has done up to 12 hours and in the day she can go 6 hours. I always offer a feed after 3-4 hours and she always takes one but DH thinks we should wait for her to ask. As she goes long stretches at night I think we should feed her more often in the day. She was 25th centile and has just dropped below although HV not worried at last weigh in. The long stretches have only just started in the last week or two so haven't asked HV about this yet. Any tips?

I would keep doing what you are doing and feed every 3-4 hours during the day. If you do long stretches in the day she may start waking in the night as she is hungry

Thanks @dementedpixie I get hungry every 3-4 hours so it feels wrong to leave the small one to go so much longer!
