What should I do if my baby falls asleep during feeds?

If your baby falls asleep during a feed, it usually means they're satisfied or not hungry. You can try gentle stimulation like changing their nappy, unwrapping them slightly, or talking softly. However, if they remain sleepy, it's generally best to let them sleep and wait for them to wake naturally showing hunger cues before offering another feed. Feel free to approach your paediatric feeding speech therapists to find out more!
