Falling asleep breastfeeding

My little boy is 5 days old and feeding like a champion! But it's taking forever because he keeps falling asleep. It's v cute but has anyone got any tips to Keep him awake for a full feed?

Congratulations! 🎉😊 He is gorgeous 🥰 My boy used to do that and the midwives suggested to gently blow into his ear to wake him up. I had to keep doing it till he finished feeding but it was sometimes hard to tell whether he fell asleep before finishing or he was just done. They do get way more efficient at feeding as they grow - my boy took his time when he was newborn, now at nearly 4 months he rarely needs more than 10-15mins and he's done.

Thanks so much Nina :)
