Tag: weaning from night feeds

Having a baby who refuses to night wean can be challenging for exhausted parents. However, there are strategies you can implement to ease this transition. Firstly, establish a consistent bedtime routine to signal sleep time. Gradually reduce night feedings by shortening the duration or delaying them. Offer comfort through gentle techniques like rocking or patting instead of nursing. Ensure your baby is getting enough calories during the day to minimize hunger at night. Implementing a gradual approach can make the process less overwhelming for both you and your baby. Remember, each child is unique, so be patient and adapt your approach accordingly. With persistence and consistency, you can successfully navigate this phase and help your baby learn to sleep independently.
