When we stayed in the hospital after birth they recommended a nappy change and touching arms/legs with a wet wipe/cold flannel to wake them for a feed

Have you tried a nappy change? It can be annoying as means you might end up changing again when they’re done (my twins seem to poo as soon as a nipple is in their mouth🤣) but works quite well especially if you have quite wet cold wipes etc x

I always do a nappy change then touch with a wet wipe and even then it can take her 20 minutes to wake up. But as she also has jaudice currently it’s harder to wake her
