Hi, my baby abit of jaundice. I was told by the nurse to feed him every 3 hr 60ml to 80ml of milk. But every time I try feeding him he tend to drink 30ml and then fall asleep. No matter what I do to wake him up he still sleeping.. I am so worried he is getting less then he suppose to drink. Any tips to get him drink the whole 60ml milk.

Hello! Do not worry about baby not drinking 60ml at least he did drank half of the portion already. My son have the same situation as your son too, having jaundice from 100+ to 200+ then dropped to 150 now, can go chinese medicine shop to buy a kind of seed or floral to shower for baby it helps a lot in jaundice. My baby was 200+ but after we shower for him then he became 150 within 2 weeks. As for milk not wanting to drink full 60ml is ok do not worry about it. Maybe you consider breastfeeding him instead?
