I was told by nurses to feed 3-4 hours and I’d have to wake up him up to do so. Well tonight I tried to feed around 11pm and he was still sleep. I changed the diaper and still sleep. I tried other things and he semi woke up so begin to feed and he was sucking the bottle but he was half sleep but sucking the bottle and he started to smoke choking sounds.

He was not choking but I stop cause clearly he was not all the way awake yet and I’m forcing him to feed cause I was told 3-4 hours. I ran to my mom to see if he was really chocking and he was not but my mom said let the baby sleep and feed them when they wake up. She said she remember letting me sleep and when I would cry to wake up she would feed me.

I need help. I don’t know if I should stick to the 3-4 hours even when he is sleeping or wait until he wakes or I need tips to wake him gently. But it seems when I try to wake him up and force him to feed he has the potential to choke cause not all the way awake.

Where I’m at . I feed them at 7:30pm. But he did not fall asleep till 9:30pm and took the last bit of the bottle around then. From 7:30pm to 11:30pm is 4 hours so I woke him then. But technically he did not go to sleep till 9:30pm and it’s 12:30am here. So 3 hours he been sleep.
