Poorly 12 week old: Wake to feed or leave to sleep???

[ConnorTraceptive]

It's been nearly 5 hours since ds2's last feed. He's BF and usually feeds every 2-3 hours.

He's got a bad cough, bringing up lots of phlegm (sp?) and seems below par, but no temp.

Should I just let him sleep or do I need to wake him for a feed?

Poor little thing

Personally I would wake him to feed, if he is feeling poorly he may only take a little and then go back to sleep but at least you will know he has a little something inside him.

Hope he feels better soon x

i would wake him

Ok will go change his nappy to try and stir him.

Will he dream-feed? My DD is BF but if she is hungry she will still feed without waking.

He woke up and had a nice feed - seems happier too

Thanks!
