FTM here so please excuse the silly question.
When you have to attend appointments that are a set time, If your baby was due a feed during the car journey or during the appointment (not that I wouldn’t BF baby but for example during a doctors examination it’s not that easy during the appointment)
Would you wake baby before you leave to feed?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

No don’t wake them, just feed them when they wake up either before or after. I was told never to wake a sleeping baby!

Depends I suppose. If you were on a 4 hour car journey and they usually fed every 2 hours then yes, I'd have a break and wake them to feed.

Doctors appointments can be tricky to judge as ours can sometimes be over an hour late.

I won't wake baby up especially if they seem content and sleeping peacefully. I'd consider adjusting the usual feeding schedule to accommodate their sleep.
