Father of a 3 yr 4 m old girl3 years ago

Q.

Off late my 4 months old daughter has been drinking milk only while asleep, even though if she wakes for long hours and is hungry it becomes difficult to feed her. She refuses bottle nipple while she is awake however with little force she drinks the milk, is it the right thing to do?

A. Hi mom Yes u can try giving feed when the baby is awake..There is no problem in that. Feed after every two three hours interval or when demanded by the baby whichever is earlier. If ur baby is active and comfortable when awake, passing out urine 6-8 times in a day, gaining weight then that means your baby is taking sufficient feed.
