Keeping baby awake for nighttime feeds
My 3 week old wakes about every 2 hours to feed. When I try to feed her she latches, starts to nurse and about 3-6 mins into the nursing session, she starts to fall asleep! I do not have a problem with production and she hasn’t had issues after we go the hang of breastfeeding with drawing out milk. Well, I take her off my breast to hopefully wake her and change her. It works for maybe another 2-3 mins. The issue is, then she won’t go back to sleep because she’s still hungry. So we end up in this battle of feedings for less than 10 minutes for hours!! Last night it went from 2:45 am to 5 am 🤦🏻♀️. How can I get her to eat a little better at night so she is full and sleeps easily?
