Waking baby to eat...?

Shelbie

Hey everyone! Does anyone else have to wake baby to eat? I was told to wake him every 2-3 hours to eat if he doesn't wake up, but I can never get him to wake enough to nurse. I've tried changing his diaper, undressing him, skin to skin but he just keeps sleeping. He's been getting 6-8 feedings a day (sometimes 10) and 15 minutes per breast. I don't want to mess up my milk supply or have him not be getting enough, but he just won't wake up!

Advice on waking him? Is it really necessary to wake him? Any support or advice is welcome! He's 6 days old at this point. Also, he had been pooping once a day, but yesterday he didn't at all. But he was circumcised yesterday.
