HomeQuestions & AnswersHi doctor, my 5+ mo baby enjoys breastfeeding when it is naptime (she is drowsy). she will refuse breast feed as well as bottle feed when she is awake /alert. but sometimes she gets hungry before naptime and it gets very difficult to feed her. I want to know whether it is okay to keep the baby engaged with playing or take out for a walk and feed her ultimately when it's her naptime and she happily feeds? in short is it okay to keep her hungry for one hour? please advise.
