A plea for pearls....


Experienced mothers...(and fathers, I suppose),
I have a baby S.O.S. (stuck on snacking). I cannot, for the life of me, keep Nathan awake long enough to warrant a full belly--playing itself out in frequent short naps. Any wise antics in keeping those blue eyes open? I hate to have it come down to an ice cube rub down but I am running low on ideas.

Paul did the same thing. We would change his daiper to wake him up. This usually did the trick.

Hey Guys,
I know with Brysen he did the same thing for the first few months. I would try to tickle him if during feeding, or rubbing his chin, that would usually woke him up enough to eat some more. Brysen did it for about 2 months. We also gave him the binky because he thought sucking was a toy, this cut it also too. Hope this helps
