How to keep newborn awake during feeding?

Question

My baby is currently 4 days old, and doing a great job breastfeeding! My only issue is she falls asleep 10minutes in, how do I keep her awake? I’ve tired undressing her, switching breasts.
Is 10 minutes a normal time for a feed at this age? 
I am feeding her around the clock every 1.5hours

Answer

Depends on the baby. My son (third baby) is an efficient eater even as a newborn so his feeds were short. It’s very difficult to keep them awake for feedings in the beginning. I used to change them first and tickle feet, back, and ears to keep them awake, but most of the time to no avail. I wouldn’t worry as long as baby is having good diaper output. Congrats and good luck!

Answer

Normal feeding for a newborn is 10-15 min. No longer than 30. I’d let baby sleep if they fall asleep around that time

Answer

Check for a tongue and lip tie. That’s an indicator for falling asleep while eating! Okay with babies hands and legs while eating

Answer

Tickle her nose
