A. Falling asleep at the breast is usually fine. In fact, many babies will fall asleep after getting in a good feed. A full tummy makes babies tired, and falling asleep is a natural reaction. Baby's love our warmness that's why they wake up when we lay them down on bed, because they came out from their comfort zone.

A. Try to wake your baby while feeding by tickling under the ears and foot so that baby will consume enough milk, this is common in all babies we need to distract them while sleeping.

A. give about 20 minutes,each side 10 mins.

Jasmine KaurMom of a 9 yr 8 m old boy3 years ago

A. Hello dear parent, this is absolutely normal among babies at this age to take feeds at odd hours. As babies are small and only consume milk. Milk causes gas which makes them uncomfortable Because of colic pain. So you must burp your baby after every feed by holding him in upright position and massage his back for 20 mins and 4 burps are necessary.
