Newborn Feeding Problems?

nursing babies love to sleep at the its comforting and warm and they smell mommy. Try to strip her down to her diaper and when you see her nodding off give her a little nudge under her chin (where your hand probably is if your nursing) this should help. I have even had to use a baby wipe to rub on my sons arm or leg while he was nursing to wake him up a bit. Try for a min of 10 Min's nursing on each side. After you feed her try for 10-15 Min's of awake time (interaction) and then lay her down and let her fall asleep without you rocking her or holding her this will promote better sleeping habits for the next few years. Eventually she will get the sleeping thing down with a full belly. Good luck and just keep trying it gets frustrating but within a month it will be much easier!
