Difficulty waking late-preterm newborn f
Hello Doctor,
My baby is 11 days old, born at 34 weeks + 3 days (late preterm). During the daytime he feeds reasonably well, but at night he becomes extremely sleepy and it is very difficult to wake him up for feeds.
The pediatrician has advised feeding every 2 hours, but practically this becomes challenging because he does not wake up on his own at night and remains very drowsy. We have already tried common stimulation methods like sole rubbing, diaper changing, undressing slightly, and gentle handling, but they work only briefly or not at all.
My questions are:
Is this level of sleepiness at night normal for a late-preterm baby?
How critical is it to strictly maintain 2-hourly feeds at night in such babies?
Are there any safe and simple techniques to help wake him adequately for feeds?
At what point should this kind of sleepiness be considered a warning sign requiring evaluation?
