Waking baby up to feed
What is the best way to wake up my baby to feed? She’s a newborn and has lost a little too much weight, but I’m having trouble waking her up to eat. What are some good ways to do that??

If she’s getting her ounces in, leave her to sleep longer. If not, I always start the feed whilst mines asleep or do a nappy change x
Mine refused to wake to eat lc told me to gently blow air at her face for a second or two to get her to wake can’t say it 100% worked but I did do it a couple of times when I was desperate.
Cold wipe across belly button area or even undress baby a little they suggest sometimes.
I used to have to get mine undressed 🤦🏼♀️
I never woke my baby to feed. I would add an extra feed during the day and before bedtime

I start with changing babys diaper so that rouses them a little and then I touch bottle or breast to baby's nose and lips to encourage them to open it while still sleeping. It's called dream feeding.
