![]() ![]() If your child is a healthy weight and their pediatrician has okayed fewer or no nighttime feedings, parents can rest assured that most or all of baby’s nighttime wake-ups are not directly due to being woken up by hunger.įinally, if a child is truly waking up due to hunger, then they should feed and fall immediately back to sleep, putting themself to sleep through the rest of the night with relative ease. ![]() For the overwhelming majority of babies over the age of 4 months, more than 1-2 nighttime feedings are not necessary. If a baby is waking in the middle of the night due to hunger, a feeding should be given. Related: Wondering if your baby will ever sleep on a regular schedule? They will-and here’s how you can helpĪnd parents know their baby best. Regardless of the information learned from countless baby sleep books, fellow parents and strangers at the grocery store, the fact remains: A child’s parent and pediatrician are most equipped to decide whether or not that child still needs a nighttime feeding(s). Sleep training does not necessarily equate to baby sleeping through the night without any nighttime feedings-and sleep training certainly does not mean elimination of nighttime feedings if baby is hungry. LISA AND BABY A, 10 WEEKS AND E, 3 YEARS, ST.Enroll now 2. And your encouragement/advice those first few days were a life saver! We are so grateful that we came across you and took the step to better our sleep and overall family dynamics. One thing I appreciated very much, is that I didn't feel judged and felt completely open to ask and tell you anything regarding our sleeping situation, that was a huge relief. Starting quiet time with my older daughter and not forcing her naps, has also worked wonders for us, as now we have both girls in bed by 7 pm! Thank you so much, I am so grateful we took this step, as it's hard to imagine if we kept on doing the same old thing. I am now able to be more present with my girls during the day, because I feel confident in their sleeping schedules which I didn't before our initial call. Not only, are we ALL getting more sleep, but now I have time in the evening to read, reflect, and/or just relax!! Which honestly, I can tell makes a huge difference in my parenting as I feel I can be a better mother to my girls because I am better able to take care of myself. The other night, Ada only woke up once to feed and slept the entire night. Just within one week we saw a huge improvement!! Ada had been sleeping in our bed every night after we took her home, but after our initial call 2 weeks ago she has slept in her crib every night since then!! We put your advice into practice on day one and it has only gotten easier. BETHANY AND BABY J, 8 MONTHS, CHARLOTTE, NC My husband and I are so thankful to have found her and I highly recommend her to everyone with children. ![]() Elizabeth is so sweet and kind it’s like talking to a friend (who happens to have amazing sleep advice) and she is always super quick to respond to texts/emails. I debated about contacting Elizabeth for over a month because “I shouldn’t have to pay someone to get my child to sleep it’s not worth it” oh my word, it was worth every penny and more! Within a week of talking to Elizabeth and using her schedule and suggestions, my daughter was sleeping for 1.5 hours in the morning, 2-2.5 hours in the afternoon, and only waking once at night (from 7 pm- 7 am)- which was phonemail compared to where we started!! Even extended family and friends noticed a change in Jane and how much happier/more content she had become. ![]() For the first 7-8 months of my daughter’s life she was waking every 1-2 hours at night, staying awake for 30-60 minutes at a time during the night, and only napping twice a day for 20 mins each nap.
