A. Hello dear parent, for 5 months old baby you can give breast feed as baby desires. There is no such time. If baby is hungry he will cry and would want to be fed. You can still give feed in a gap of 3 to 3 hours.

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.
