Feeding my 2 week old takes soooo long...she falls asleep at the breast and when she gets a bottle. I've tried turning on a fan, stripping her down to her diaper, tickling her feet, cold towels....nothing wakes her up after she snoozes during a feeding!

T started becoming more efficient during feedings right around 1 1/2 - 2 weeks, I think. She still takes a while to eat, but she is less sleepy now & usually awake for the whole thing. It used to take us over an hour, I think we're averaging 30-40 minutes now.
It didn't always work, but breast compressions and even just taking a deep breath would often get her to start sucking again.
