Waking newborns to feed

[Jess3]

I just had my 5th delivery and you’d think I heard this advice before this but no!!

The hospitals LC came in and helped my with my latch and baby was so tired (of course) and she said a good way to wake them is rub the front of their shoulders. That tends to wake them enough to get a latch and a feeding in. I just wanted to share​

My grandma also said to try and rub their feet if that helps!
