How did/do you wake your newborn for feeding?

We've tried: tickling feet, opening windows, removing clothes, metal music, wet wipes, burping, diaper changes...and she still sleeps like a rock.

Unless they are underweight and the doctor specifically asked you to feed them on regular intervals, let them sleep.

They will get up when they are hungry.

just don't
when she's hungry, she'll let you know (and will easily wake you up, btw)

Oof, long time ago. Our youngest was quite bit challenging with feeding. Easiest way is to feed her when she's awake. She apparently also needs her sleep. We found going eith the baby's flow was the best way to all stay sane. Some people will tell you to feed at certain times, but that does not always work.

Dream feed if underweight. Check with your ped but typically they'll let you know by waking up crying if they're hungry.
