Dear friends,
Today morning I have seen a mother, who is giving food to her daughter while sleeping. She is One year and 4 months old. I asked why to give food on sleep. She said else she won’t eat, she vomit and cry like anything, she likes to drink milk alone in feeding bottle. I stood and watched; yes the baby is slowly having the food even though she is sleeping.
Do you think, is there any danger on giving food while sleeping?

The question is why she need to feed the baby while sleeping. Can't she wait until the baby is awaken? There's always danger in that, the baby might be choke.

For me I can not sleep if a baby is still awake and eating because I always help the baby burp after or else it will be painful for them

@m_audrey6788 Yes, I know. Thankfully my children were not like that. But one of my friend always complaining her daughter does not eat. But she visit my place, she can eat happily by praising my dish.

There is a lot of danger as she might get the whatever food it is go the wrong way and she would coughing and spluttering.
I had to follow mine with a spoon and a dish full of food all the way around the house for months on end to get him to eat.
Eventrually it all stopped and he began to eat normally but not after some long arduous intents to make him get my attention.

I only did this in our house as he was sick a lot of the times with Asthma problems qutie severe and getting him to sit down to eat was a nightmare this lasted for months.
The angst one goes through with that kind of situation is difficult to explain.
When he started to smoke like his friends I lost my rag with him after all the time I spent getting him well. Men.

Strange that this mother is not aware of the consequences of feeding a baby when she is sleeping.

when an infant bottle-fed is already asleep, the mother should remove the feeding bottle because the infant may have aspiration pneumonia, or choking.
