Hello, your baby should be fed on demand. As baby is 3 months old, baby would already be feeding on demand. There need not be a fixed feeding schedule. If baby is gaining weight, passing urine well and not crying while awake, maybe the baby is receiving milk required during sleep hours. There would most probably be no need to force feed the baby.
Health Tips
If baby is cranky and crying constantly, check with a nearby pediatrician.

Pls dont try to force feed the baby.
If the baby is absolutely not feeding from u, Try to paladay feed your own breast milk.Don’t tempt to give formula milk please.
Make a soothing and comforting environment during the daytime for the baby to feed well and make it a consistent effort.
