😴👉 Does your baby fall asleep mid-feed? It’s super common, but there are some gentle tricks you can do to keep them awake long enough to finish. 💡 Try these: 👕 Undress them a little, the cooler air (within reason) helps them stay alert 🦶 Tickle their feet or under their chin 🎶 Talk or sing to them to keep them engaged 👶 For fresh newborns, making a gentle sucking sound can trigger their suck reflex and get them to continue feeding. These small tweaks can make a big difference in ensuring your baby gets a full feed, which leads to more predictable routines and longer stretches of sleep. Setting up these habits early can make all the difference down the line.
