102. Is Feeding to Sleep a Bad Habit?

In consultations I am often asked about feeding to sleep - is it a bad habit, should you be making sure your baby doesn't fall asleep at the breast, why does my baby always fall asleep at the end of a breastfeed? In this episode we myth bust the idea that feeding to sleep is a bad habit, and explain why babies are often sleepy at the end of a feed (hint theres a powerful cocktail of hormones at play) and why we can actually see this as our superpower, rather than something that we need to change. I also discuss moving away from feeding to sleep and other options if you're wanting to get your partner involved in bedtime or overnight resettles. I would love to hear your thoughts, questions, and ideas for future episodes so please get in touch on instagram - my insta is @heldmidwifery or through my website www.heldmidwifery.com.au. Remember to subscribe so you don't miss any episodes, and if you're enjoying the podcast I would be ever so grateful if you could rate and review  on your favourite podcast player. Disclaimer: Remember as always the info provided in this podcast does not constitute medical, midwifery, psychological, childbirth, pre-natal or post-natal education or other professional medical advice, and is provided for general information and guidance purposes only.
