Q.

#asktheexperts Doctor suggest us to feed our baby every 2 hour . But sometimes he sleeps for more than 2 hour countinously. Could you please suggest what we need to do. Is that fine we wait for him to awake and crying then we feed him or we awake him every 2 hour for feeding.

A. my baby was also like this and my paediatrician recommended waking her up every 2 hrs to feed even if she's sleeping.gently tickle earlobe or feet. .. even while feeding if the baby falls asleep gentle tickling of feet and ear will keep them awake.. ensure you feed for 20mins

A. Yes that’s what I thought that it’s not good to disturb his sleep. But has concern related to his feeding so thought to check Ok then we guys wait to wake him and then feed him.

A. Try to dream feed your child if you can manage that otherwise otherwise wait for your child to wake up and then feed the child it is practically not possible to feed the child every two hours so just feed the child when the child wakes up I think that’s better because we do not suggest you to disturb the child sleep
