Breastfeeding is awesome,\u00a0Sleep Sense promotes breastfeeding 100 percent!\u00a0\u00a0The controversial part is when to feed\u00a0your baby.\u00a0 I suggest to my clients that they should feed\u00a0AFTER naps, not before.\u00a0For a lot of babies and toddlers, the single biggest reason they don’t sleep well has to do with a feeding-sleeping association. In\u00a0other words, your child has “linked” the ideas of feeding and sleeping.\u00a0They think that they need a bottle or nursing BEFORE they can fall\u00a0 asleep.\u00a0By feeding right after naptime, instead of before, you can help your child break this feeding-sleep association. So, go ahead feed your baby until your heart is content, just do it after they sleep!<\/p>\n
IMPORTANT NOTE: This strategy should only be used before naps, not before putting\u00a0your child to bed for the night. A full tummy is needed to make sure your child doesn’t wake up hungry during the night!<\/p>\n
Sleep Well!<\/p>\n
