What can i do if my newborn is sleeping during feedings?

Sleepy nurser: Breast fed babies very frequently fall asleep at the breast at first, and this can make nursing challenging (and will add to maternal exhaustion). Unwrapping the baby, tapping the feet, stroking the face or other forms of stimulation as soon as baby falls asleep will hopefully foster a more effective feeding pattern. Be vigilant, and this will pass. Best wishes.
