i was watching that jude dobson hosted show zero to five i think it was called - and they are doing babies... anyway they were talking about how the palm of the hand is related to a babies suck reflex. the more you stimulate the hand, ie stroking it firmly, the more it will help to improve their suck reflex.

i had heard they were linked but was good to get some more evidence.

i used to stroke gabriels nose and that would always wake him up. ]]> Mon, 25 Sep 2006 20:06:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3862&PID=73968&title=help-sleeping-on-boob#73968 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3862&PID=73962&title=help-sleeping-on-boob#73962 Author: jax

We used to do this when I was still b/f Erin and still do it now if she is too sleepy on the bottle. Get a facecloth and run it under cold water until it's as cold as you can get it - then touch it to his face until he wakes up. Guaranteed he won't like it, but it might just give him enough motivation to keep feeding and finish properly.]]> Mon, 25 Sep 2006 19:42:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3862&PID=73962&title=help-sleeping-on-boob#73962 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3862&PID=73957&title=help-sleeping-on-boob#73957 Author: meow

Ben just can't seem to stay awake on the boob!
I talk to him, pat him, play with his hands, feet, ears.
Take off his clothes, move him around, stop to burp.
Nothing seems to work!
I feed him after he wakes, so he's not worn out...
Its getting a bit frustrating as he will nod off for 15-30 mins and then wake wanting to feed again, and often will nod off again during that!
I've asked plunket and midwife about it but they didn't have a lot of advice.
Help Please!!]]> Mon, 25 Sep 2006 17:08:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3862&PID=73935&title=help-sleeping-on-boob#73935
