How do you know if your baby actually needs those night feeds? 1. They’re consistently gaining weight and thriving on daytime feeds alone. 2. They can already do a 4–5 hour stretch overnight, even if it’s not consistent. 3. When they wake overnight, they’re not taking full feeds… or they feed and still have a hard time settling back to sleep afterward. ⭐️ One of the biggest things holding moms back from dropping night feeds is fear… Fear that their baby actually needs it. Fear that they’re taking something away. But sometimes, it’s not fear at all. Sometimes you’re just exhausted. 😴 And feeding is the quickest solution in that moment. Which is completely understandable. When you’ve been up multiple times already, you just want the wake-up to go away as quickly as possible. But here’s the part no one really talks about… Most healthy babies are physically capable of getting all of the calories they need during the day and making it through the night without feeding. 💡 One of my biggest tips: keep your baby awake for all daytime feeds so they’re taking full feeds and getting those calories in during the day instead of making up for them overnight. ❗️This ALSO dissociates feeding with sleeping so it’s a great place to start! And if the night wakings have become more about habit/comfort than genuine hunger, feeding back to sleep every time can actually keep the cycle going. The hard part? Doing something different often takes more effort at first. But if you put your head down and commit to a few nights of getting your baby back to sleep without immediately offering a feed, you’ll start to notice those stretches getting longer and longer. Not sure whether your baby truly needs those overnight feeds or if it’s become a habit? 👉 Comment “REST” and I’ll send you my *free* guide to approaching night wake-ups and how to tell hunger from habit. 💜 Follow @babygotjaq, mom of 3 and certified sleep consultant for realistic baby sleep tips that actually work. #sleepconsultant #babysleep #baby #momof3
