A. Hello, Sleep feeding is a situation that commonly evolves when a baby has developed a behavioral feeding aversion due to pressure. When averse to feeding, baby becomes distressed and refuses to feed either as soon as he realizes he's going to be fed or after consuming a small amount (typically, a similar amount each time).
