Mommies I have a question. My son (6 days old) had a Drs appointment today. She told me I had to…

change his diaper right before you feed him when your feeding him and he falls asleep tickle his feet or stoke from the corner of his mouth outward and it wakes them up.

@wyatts_mommy_0106 I've tried all of that but he's so unbothered by everything. He'll cry for a minute then fall right back to sleep. He's such a heavy sleeper

Even the nurses couldn't keep him up

Ooh wow he is. Can you get him to start eating before he falls back asleep?

@laurenangel__ she said it's because he's small (5lbs 13oz) so I gotta feed him more. But he already has his own schedule and does not wanna change it for the life of him

@wyatts_mommy_0106 nope. As soon as he's in my arms he falls asleep instantly. I've even tried putting a wipe to his skin since he hates the cold but even that doesn't wake him

I've never listened to the wake baby up to eat thing. Baby will wake up to eat when he's hungry and won't starve themselves. I feed on demand not on schedule

Ooh wow he really likes sleep!!

my daughter was 5 lbs 15 oz when she was born and my doctors told me she will wake up when she's hungry. she set her own feeding times lol. but she's almost 6 months old and is healthy as can be I would stress to much over it.

wouldn't**

My daughter was 5 lbs 7oz, and was fed on damand..I was never told to wake her up to feed her.

@lilyandkaidynsmommy @mrs.cravens @tabby1995 yeah I thought he was doing pretty good. When he was born he weighed in at 5lbs 10oz and when he was discharged he dropped to 5lbs 5oz now he's 5lbs 13oz and that's on his schedule so idk why shes so strict on this 2 hr thing

He's above birth weight and that's where they're supposed to be so I would say he's fine and just keep doing your thing

as long as he is gaining weight, you guys are fine.

@lilyandkaidynsmommy @nerdmamatn okay I just wanted to make sure I'm doing the right thing. thank you I feel better now. 💓

Like @nerdmamatn said..as long as he is gaining weight, you are doing something right.
