Jaundice Baby and BF....how to keep her awake??

buttabean14

FTM here! Our baby girl has had quite a rough start so far. Between PROM, induction, and being born posterior, we had an interesting time!

But our LO got jaundice and had to stay under the lights overnight. I know that BF jaundice babies take longer to get the toxins out of their system, and that the toxins make them sleepy. I'm having a really really hard time getting her to stay awake for feedings, especially in the afternoon. I've tried stripping her down, cold wash rags, making her mad, etc. and can't get her to stay latched on for more than 5 minutes.

We just got home from the hospital on Monday afternoon, and my milk really came in yesterday.
