hon this is normal. when he falls asleep feeding thumb the bottom of his foot lightly. it stimulates them. it is perfectly ok to do this. I had to do it with mine. a very sweet nurse told me about that when I had my daughter and it worked. it is very normal for a baby to lose a little weight the first week. now with your milk in he should start to gain it back pretty fast. just keep your eye on the jaundice. if he turns too yellow take him to the er but he really should be fine hon. hang in there. is anyone there with you? helping out?
