Yep I am breast-feeding and yes I had to wake Ashton to feed in the early days, as he was plummeting with his weight the hospital told me too. I was also told they will be sleepy as well. Ashton was doing 4hourly when we came home and last 2 days I have had to start waking him at 3hrly due to weight concerns again, but thankfully just a nappy change is enough to wake him up enough to feed and he has started to put his weight back on as well. They also told me if he is still sleepy after a nappy change to keep him in just a singlet/nappy to feed so he isn't as warm and cosy cause he gets body heat from me anyway.
