question
My baby is 5 months old but when I compare my baby with others I find him lacking in health as other babies of his age. I always feel this which makes me feel sad because first of all he was premature and never breastfed. He's on formula feed and never want to feed. I'm forcefully feeding him while he's asleep. I'm still not able to establish demand feed. When he feeds while sleeping, he gets cough reflex most of the times which makes me scared. I want to know what could be the reason of him not wanting to take feeds at all? Is he not liking the taste of the formula?

your baby is super cute and looks healthy. dont worry. and as far as I know babies feel fuller when they're fed with formula. that may be a reason

Thank you all for the suggestions. I tried to feed him more so that there can be more gap if he doesn't want to feed, I tried waiting for him to demand but he didn't for the whole 6 hours. So, I thought it wouldn't help. I'll have to feed him myself after 3 to 3 1/2 hourly.
