Mom of a 1 yr 2 m old girl1 Year ago

Q.

Doc said that now the baby should be fed on demand and my baby is about to turn 1 month old. So can this time be extended for 3-4 hours too? Can someone help on demand, because she cries a lot when I wake her up for the feed.

Q. #AskTheExpert My baby is 3 months old. She's fully on breastfeeding. Also, sleeps through the night. During the day her feedings are not every 3-4 hours. Even when tried to force feed a little after every 3-4 hours, she doesn't want to be fed. Is this something I need to be worried. on other times she's fed on demand. Like the gap between feedings is sometimes more than 3-4 hours. What should I do? And, she passes stool once in a day and wets around 4-5 diapers in 24 hours.
