Mom of a 3 yr 9 m old girl3 years ago

Q.

My baby is 40 days old. My doctor has told to wake her up every 2 hours and feed her. She is on Lactogen formula milk. Most of the times she does not wake up for 5-6 hours. Is it okay and normal? Will it affect her growth?

A. Hi That’s not the correct way to go about it I would just advise you to feed your child when your child is awake and your child is asking for it if you keep waking up your child every two hours then it is not going to be right because the child is not hungry every two hours if the child is sleeping so let it be just let your child sleep if your child is sleeping what is your child wakes up then only you feed your child otherwise you should wait wait
