Avoid Stimulating Your Baby during Breastfeeding at Night

Avoid Stimulating Your Baby during Breastfeeding at Night: When your newborn baby grows, slowly adjusts to sleep at night and is awake during the day. In addition, because the baby's stomach grows and contains more breast milk or formula milk, it can be used for a longer time between breastfeeding at night.

At around three months of age, your baby will probably sleep about 15 hours from each 24 hour period, and two-thirds of that sleep will occur at night. Most babies will get used to a daily sleep routine of two or three periods of sleep during the day, followed by "sleeping all night" for 6 to 7 hours after giving dinner.

You can help adjust your baby's body clock to sleep at night by avoiding stimulation during breastfeeding at night and diaper changes. The act of breastfeeding itself often provides eye contact and sound, so try to keep the lights low and resist the urge to play or talk with your baby. 

This will strengthen the message that the night is to sleep. Keeping the door closed so that it doesn't mean well but vocal in older children, partners and pets will also continue to reduce your baby's stimulation. Avoid using music phones or toys as a way to put your baby back to sleep after dinner. This will also help strengthen that the night is to sleep.


And, like adults, babies who are too tired are often more difficult to sleep than those who have enough sleep during the day. So, keeping your baby thinking that he will sleep better at night may not work. You may find that when your baby sleeps regularly during the day, it's easier to make him sleep again after breastfeeding at night.
