My daughter was brought into our room from the nursery to nurse...she latched on and ate for all of 5 mins...then went right back to sleep! Really...that was it?! She had me awakened for basically a swallow of milk! I love her so much!

    Make sure they haven't fed her, AND it sucks, but if she needs to eat, ya gotta wake her up. With my kids (per lactation consultant) I undressed them, and sometimes even had to wipe their bodies down with a baby wipe. Good luck, and I'm happy you chose to breastfeed! Its a wonderful bonding experiance :) oh, and enjoy your precious bby girl :)

    Our hospital is "on demand" feeding. She is so sleepy!

    When babies are first born, their tummys are tiny. They can only hold a couple of teaspoons at a time, but they get much bigger after just a couple days.

    Aww I remember when mine did that, she'd wake me up to feed, and then only take a few drinks then fall right asleep, she'd do that what felt like a million times a night, now shes a chunky one year old that loves to eat,

    My son did that for 2 weeks. Lazy bum all he did was sleep and we couldn't wake him had to put ice cubes on his feet. Turned out I was producing to much milk and had to pump before I nursed
