Should we wake baby for Activity after feed

[Benotts]

Hello Everyone,
My wife and I are trying to use the E.A.S.Y. method and so far Mikey (our 6 week old) is not cooperating. We feed him (35 to 40 minutes on both breasts) and when he is done he is showing all the signs of being sleepy. Should we wake him up for Activity or let him sleep?

hi and welcome

sure he's not 'cooperating' if he's used to sleep after feed. but yes, you should keep him awake after the feeds. that's the idea of EASy, they eat, play and sleep and in this particular order. here are some links for you about startig your baby on EASY

Welcome to the boards!

Keep in mind that at this age, "activity" may be something as simple as a diaper change.  With a long feeding time, it leaves little time for "activity".
