Tips on getting a sleepy newborn to nurse? The nurses are demanding he eats every 2 to 3 hours but sometimes he just WILL NOT wake up to nurse. Also my milk hasn't come in so sometimes he gets frustrated and just goes back to sleep lol.

Try mothers milk tea and they always recommend changing a diaper or giving a light wipe bath to help baby wake up enough to nurse

Thank you I will try the tea. I have been undressing him, wiping him, changing diapers, talking to him, tickling him lol. But the moment I put him to breast he is asleep again. He's the sleepiest baby ever. I will keep trying though!

lazy eaters are really frustrating in the middle of the night. Cassie is like that, have to keep coaxing her to eat. My first was a heat seeking missle aimed for the nipple for 17.5 months 😂. My second is an effort. Since shes older now i just wait till shes really hungry cause then she actually eats. With your little id say try doing a gentle head scratch. I very very gently scratch cassies head at night to get her to pick up speed nursing, if i can get a good 5 minutes out of her I let her sleep and put her in the crib. Ive had to pump a few times so far and I know that by 5 minutes i pump around 3oz which is approx what her age group needs each sitting so i know if she nurses for 5 minutes shes good.
