[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is going on, the baby is falling asleep and not finishing the bottle? [/quote] Almost always asleep, takes a long time to drink an ounce. Hard to wake to feed. [/quote] My jaundiced baby was like that, but I'm guessing at 3 weeks that's been ruled out. Some of the same tricks might help though. This is from: https://llli.org/breastfeeding-info/jaundice/ How to Wake a Sleepy Baby • It’s easier to wake a baby in the stage of light sleep: eyes are moving under the eyelids, baby is making sucking motions or moving his arms and legs. • Dim the lights so that baby will open his eyes. • Undress baby down to just a diaper. • Hold baby in an upright position. Talk to the baby. Gently rub his back, hands, and feet. Walk your fingers up and down baby’s spine. • Wipe baby’s forehead and cheeks with a cool, damp cloth.[/quote]
