That really made my son mad, but it did wake him up long enough to feed.

I'ts like their internal clocks are still trying to adjust to the outside world. One of their pediatricians told me that babies sleep as their defense mechanism in adjusting to new and different things, so predict you will have one squalling, hungry baby in a few days:) Have fun snuggling in the meantime. She's just letting you get caught up on your rest before she decides to let her true colors shine!Momma Peephttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10103917227085328163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039259874525185430.post-49797912471195518642009-02-11T21:35:00.000-08:002009-02-11T21:35:00.000-08:00She'll be fine.

But she still fell asleep as soon as I took if off her belly. I would go get one just before I woke her up. I would change her diaper to get things going then use the wash cloth throughout the feeding to keep her up. It was definitely more work than I thought it should be, but in the long run it turned out to be a great thing. Once she got the hang of it she would eat what she needed and sleep what she needed and all in all was the best baby ever. So get that cold wash cloth and here's to having a good sleeper in months to come. I'll be praying that she picks up on it quick. Oh and make sure you have someone that you feel like you can talk to about it, it helps a lot:o) Feel free to call any time if you need some encouragement or just someone to bounce ideas off. I'll get up in the middle of the night to talk to you:o) She'll pick it up soon!Karen Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15967883832194514209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039259874525185430.post-62768618596350827432009-02-11T20:48:00.000-08:002009-02-11T20:48:00.000-08:00Oh RK, this to shall pass :) But until she gets t...Oh RK, this to shall pass :) But until she gets the idea of waking for eating, I agree with the stripping down to the diaper. My kids stayed awake for longer that way. All will be good soon. It always is.

I recall VERY WELL how it is to have a sleepy, non-eater and it's just as hard (if not harder) in a lot of ways because you STILL HAVE TO GET UP only there's not that convenient baby crying urgency to get the adrenaline pumping! To be fair, Rainer was content for about 5 days after he was born. In part because he had to go through that rigorous being BORN business, but he was also slightly jaundiced.
