Struggling to keep baby awake on the breast :-(

[Jayneypops]

Hi,
Our LO keeps latching on then nodding off after a few mins. I try tickling her feet, blowing on her face, tickling her chin etc but she still ends up releasing my nipple and going to sleep. However its only for a few mins then shes awake and wanting to feed again. Im so exhausted and its frustrating in the middle of the night when all I want to do is go back to sleep, to keep relatching.

Why is she doing this lately? Its been at every feed for the last couple of days. Usually she feeds for up to an hour.

What can I do?

Maybe now your milk is in properly now (I presume) it's filling her better so she's comfy to nod off for a bit?
It's a bit like when you need a drink when your really thirsty and then ok to drink normally after you've had some.
