Mom of a 4 yr 5 m old girl4 years ago

Q.

My daughter is 2 month old. Recently she is feeding after a gap of 5-6 hours in her sleep during night time. Even if I try to feed her, she doesn't feed. Should I let her sleep or forcefully wake her up and feed? And what should I do if she doesn't feed for such a long duration?

A. Forced Feeding is never recommended your child if your child is sleeping let your child sleep peacefully what’s the harm when you sleep in the night you also prefer sleeping peacefully it is the same with kids so just see it’s a child but it is growing up like us on this if your child will be hungry your child will automatically wake up and will cry for a fee otherwise let your child sleep as long your child is sleeping
