Tips to wake up baby for feedings?

Question

My LO is a month old and she was giving me a good 4-5 stretch between feedings at night. The last few days she’s decided she only wants 1.5oz or so every 2-3 hours instead, and keeps falling asleep between feedings. She won’t even get a burp out before she’s back asleep, but then she squirms all night from gas pains and hunger. How do I keep her awake long enough to eat her 3-3.5oz or so so that she will actually SLEEP? I’m losing my mind on constant sleep deprivation when things were finally starting to get better 😭
EDIT: I’ve tried diaper changes in the middle and she just conks right back out :(

Answer

My baby isn't even two weeks old yet and we struggle to keep her fed and without gas pains.
I'm breastfeeding, but I can't even get her to stay awake for that. I change, I supplement with formular because she's loosing weight and I'm just falling apart here because she's unhappy 😭
The first few days went so well I don't know what happened and omg it's frustrating as fuck!

Answer

The nicu told us to take there swaddles off and if that didn’t work then there clothes.another thing you can try is stimulating her side, rub her side to get her sucking again. I hope these help and sorry if it doesn’t all make sense. It’s 3:35 am where I am and my baby is up eating. :) oh does she cluster feed at night before bed ?

Answer

I was just about to create a post asking this same question! My baby eats great during the day typically putting down 4 ounces at a time then not eating again for 3-4 more hours, but at night she'll only take 1-2 ounces at a time and be up every 2 hours or less wanting more. I take off her swaddle and change her diaper before starting to feed and will burp after an ounce to help keep her awake and prevent gas pains but usually she's back to sleep after an ounce. Tonight has been particularly awful with it taking 4 hours to get her down for the night to then only be up every hour or less so I'm at my wits end! No sleep and one frustrated mama. 😞

Could you try a faster flow nipple?

Answer

My first was the sleepiest eater ever. When the change of swaddle, clothes, swaddle and diaper didn’t work, I’d get a cold wash cloth. If that didn’t work, I’d get a gel ice pack. 
If bottle feeding, you could try sitting LO upright (almost sitting up) and paced bottle feeding. It helped with the gas bubbles/discomfort while we supplemented with formula. 
Good luck! 💕
