When do babies start sleeping through the night? The Parent and Baby Coach Heidi Skudder shares her expert baby sleep advice for new parents
November 18, 2022 - 08:37 GMT Chloe Best Sleep can be a contentious subject for many new parents, who may find themselves exhausted from hourly wake ups with their baby and counting down the days until they start sleeping through the night.
There are some key ingredients to getting longer night stretches that most parents find out later down the line, wishing they had been told them sooner. These could include; Ensuring your baby is comfortable – babies who have wind, or tummy upset will be more likely to wake up and writhe around in their sleep, then needing more support during the night time. During a sleep consultation, we would always first of all ensure that your baby has nothing else going on, such as reflux, food sensitivities, or issues with their latch and air intake that is causing them to become more uncomfortable during the night time.
When should you stop feeding your baby in the night? Whilst some more old school approaches to parenting will dictate when a baby should stop feeding in the night time, the reality is there are no"should" when it comes to parenting. Generally, babies can go through without a feed once they are on solids, but some babies may continue to feed for other reasons; including comfort, or just to get themselves back off to sleep.
