How can I help my baby stay awake while breastfeeding?

Some babies will tend to fall asleep in the first few weeks of life when the flow of milk is slow, not necessarily because they have had enough to eat. If this is the case, gentle breast compression (use your opposite hand to hold your breast with the thumb on top and other fingers below) may help your baby get more milk and continue to nurse when he gets sleepy and his sucking slows down. It is important that your baby stay awake long enough to eat enough calories to gain weight and grow.

Ideally he will finish a full feed, but during those first few weeks, this may be next to impossible each and every time you nurse him. Try stripping your baby down to only his diaper for nursing. Stroke his head, neck, or back, or tickle his feet as needed to keep him awake.

Between breasts is a good time to burp him or change his diaper; better yet, have Daddy change it--a sure way to wake them both up.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
