Feeding baby while she is deeply asleep

2020-01-06 02:28:50
Hello doctor, I have 4 month old baby. Her night time feedings are when she is in deep sleep and i breastfeed her in her sleep. I want to know is this safe practice? Any risk of choking or anything else? Should i wake her up before feeding or i should feed only when she herself wakes up and cry for feed?
