Hungry 2 months old sometimes falls asleep during feedings. are there ways to stimulate her so that she finishes her bottle?

Really hungry?: She may not be hungry. You can encourage staying awake by taking bottle out of the mouth and putting back in, rubbing her back/ feet - but when tired sleep will win. I recommend not ever trying to use the bottle to soothe her to sleep - instead work to change the pattern to sleep - feed - awake/play time - sleep... After a few cycles of this pattern, she won't be sleepy at feeding times.Take care.
