hi! my daughter is 29 days old and tends to fall asleep while nursing and as soon as we put her to sleep she wakes up and feeds again. this happens when I'm breastfeeding her and not when we give her pumped milk or formula through bottle. how do I make sure that she's well fed while nursing? we keep trying to wake her up when she falls asleep while nursing but sometimes she does and sometimes doesn't.

A. Hello, your baby girl is newborn just 29 days old and she use to sleep while breast feeding so if your breast nipples are small or inverted or flat then it’s very much possible
