Why do breastfeeding babies get so sleepy at the breast? 😴💤
Because YOU are their home. 💛
Your heartbeat.
Your scent.
Your warmth.
Your voice.
Everything about you feels safe and familiar, like being wrapped in a cozy hug.
So it’s no surprise that baby starts to drift off mid-feed. But while those sleepy snuggles are sweet, we do want baby to stay actively feeding, especially in the early days when milk removal is key to building your supply.
In this reel, watch how mom gently stimulates her baby to keep them awake at the breast by rubbing, talking, tickling, and switching sides when needed.
✨ Tip: If baby starts flutter sucking or falling asleep too early, try a gentle chicken wing move or a little foot tickle to wake them up.
Feeding is like an exercise workout! 😉
