How To Wake Up A Sleeping Infant For Feeding?
Question: How to wake up the baby who is just 20 days old.
Brief Answer:
Is it for breast feeding the child?
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I assume that you want to feed the baby and therefore want to wake the baby. In such a case placing the baby on your breast, and inserting the nipple with areola in the mouth og the baby will automatically initiate the sucking and the purpose would be served. You may need to tickle the sole of the baby sometime.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards

While feeding in the day time baby will be active for XXXXXXX 2 mins, again i have to tickle him to wake up.but im unsuccessful. He is urinating 2-3 times daily.
Brief Answer:
Not normal
Detailed Answer:
Unless the baby passes urine 6 times or more in 24 hours it indicates that the baby is not getting adequate feeds. That could indicate that the baby is lethargic and an infection would need to be ruled out. You need to visit a doctor for the same.

Brief Answer:
Could be due to concentrated form
Detailed Answer:
It is possible that the urine is relatively concentrated giving it an orangish look. You may try giving more feeds and that should suffice. If it still does not help, it would be a good idea to get the urine tested (routine microscopy).
