Here are some techniques to help keep your baby awake during feeding sessions, based on the provided information:
-
Diaper Change: Start by changing your baby's diaper to help wake them up a bit. This can be a good way to rouse them before or even during the feeding if they start to doze off.
-
Skin-to-Skin: Undress your baby (leaving only the diaper on) and engage in skin-to-skin contact during feeding. This can help stimulate them and keep them alert.
-
Keep the Lights On: Avoid dimming the lights during feeding times. Brighter surroundings can help prevent your baby from falling asleep.
-
Cool Cloth: Try gently rubbing a damp cloth on your baby's face and chest. The coolness can be refreshing and help to keep them awake.
These steps can help make feeding time more productive and ensure your baby gets the nutrition they need.
