"lazy diner" tricks

so my DS is quite the lazy diner. I strip him down to his diaper, stimulate his cheek, stroke his back, talk & sing to him, take off his socks and tickle his feet, change positions, burp him, change his diaper sometimes between position changes, but he still falls asleep 8 times out of 10.

Any other tricks out there you moms have found to be successful?

  • The only thing that worked for me was massaging my breasts so there was a stronger flow (after he'd already been nursing for a ex minutes and the initial let down spray was over) I think the swallowing kept him awake. Also a wet wash cloth that I'd wipe on his forehead.

  • Hoping you hear something new! We've also given a full bath, dunked her foot in water, swiped a washcloth across her face..... no luck!
