I would ask the doctor just to be on the safe side. when b___st feeding, make sure baby is cold so that he will wake up and eat.

Hi KH, Congrats on your baby boy!!!! I would call the doctor or take him in. Just to make sure he is getting enough b___st-milk. Always check his soft spot to make sure it haven't went in (suck in). If it have went in, he could be getting dehydrated. Just to be on the safe side......You can wake a sleeping baby up by putting water on his head and/or taking off a layer of clothing. You could also try rubbing your nipple against his cheek to get him to suck. Try putting a little formula on your nipple ( greatest trick). It never failed me. Wake him up every 2-4 hours to feed ( no manner what) (make sure he get enough, keep the milk supply building up) . Very soon you will have a feed machine. Don't worry and take care!!!!
