Child takes feed in sleepy condition onl

Question

Asked for Male, 0 Years

Hi, My son is 5 months old. Since last 2 months, we are facing issues pertaining to his feeding style. We have to make him sleep to feed, or else he will not take feed. Paediatricians suggested us to wait for him to get hungry then automatically he will take. But even after keeping him hungry for 6 hours, he didn't ask for feed by himself. Due to this, last month he lost around 500 grams. Since then, we have been making efforts to make him sleep every 2-3 hours for feeding. Also, he will not sleep on his own. It is taking our too much time and efforts and we are ending up exhausted. Please suggest what to be done?
