[quote=Anonymous]OP, you may want to try the following:

1. Cut dairy for at least a week from your diet to see if it’s a dairy allergy or dairy sensitivity problem for your baby.  Takes a few days for this to reflect in your breast milk. There are other allergens that you could try cutting too.

2. Agree with others on the Avent bottles, which require active sucking on baby’s part. Como tomo bottles and a faster flow may help baby eat more and faster too.

3. Definitely listen to others on feeding baby more often if possible in smaller quantities

4. Other wake up methods not already mentioned: using a cold wet cloth to wipe the baby’s face. Have someone other than you feed the baby (baby smells you and immediately falls asleep — this happened to me)

5. Might be worth trying a hypoallergenic formula in case it’s a lactose sensitivity. My little one was able to eat more because he was less gassy/reflux-y after we started using HIPP HA. But there are lots of other hypoallergenic formulas out there.

Good luck!!
