4 mth old feeding problem
My 4 months old daughter does not feed when awake. She drinks milk only while she is asleep. At daytime she goes up to 6-7 hours without feeding and I have to make her sleep in order to feed her. I am exclusively feeding her expressed milk from bottle. She is fine otherwise and plays well during the day. She refuses to take the bottle even is she is very hungry no matter how hard I try if she is awake. This is happening from past 1 month. Please advise on what needs to be done.

Why are you expressing the breast milk and giving her by bottle? That's not necessary. Just practice direct breast feeds.
