Actually it's an erratic sleeping schedule which is very normal for this age new borns which leads to disturbance in feeding too..my suggestion will be to wake up the baby every 2-2.5 hours by picking up.. tickling under the feet or behind the ears and offering Breastmilk..even in sleepy phase if you offer, and try and put aerolar portion inside..then they take and sleep feed..and again make the baby lie along your shoulder and Burp..if wakes up ok..else will again sleep..

Hi not okay. 15 days old need feeds every 2 hours, even sleeping he has to be waken up and fed. And please stop formula, understand the benefits of Breastfeeding. Also read on SIDS when baby sleeps continues for these many hours, you are basically filling the baby's tummy with heavy formula milk. Please don't do that.

Any reason why you chose to formula feed. Its recommended that you feed breast milk exclusively for six months. It seems like colic, once you start offering formula milk in bottles they would not like to breastfeed. If youe lil one's pee count is six to seven times a day and active please don't offer formula dear. <br>
