[quote=Anonymous]I have a 4.5 week old newborn baby and feedings are challenging. He is a very sleepy baby and needs to be woken up for almost every feed. The feedings are long because he often falls asleep. I’m now nursing + pumping in order to keep my supply up and make sure he is getting enough to eat. He is gaining weight slowly, causing me even more worry. I know some will recommend bottle feeding, but we have the same issues with him falling asleep. He is healthy and jaundice was ruled out. The pediatrician advised us to feed regularly and make sure he gets a full feeding each time - no snacking. She said the sleepiness will pass and to just keep letting him sleep unless he needs to eat. Any advice to make feedings more efficient and put on weight?[/quote]
