EP 33 // What to Do When Your Baby Wants to Nurse Every Time They Wake Up

Does your baby wake up and immediately want to nurse every single time? Maybe you’ve tried rocking, patting, the pacifier, or waiting a few minutes — but nothing works until you nurse again. In this episode, we’re talking about what to do when nursing has become the only way your baby knows how to fall back asleep. You’ll learn how to tell the difference between true hunger and comfort nursing, why your baby may be waking so frequently, and how to start creating a gentle plan without jumping straight to full-blown cry it out. We’ll walk through simple, practical steps like tracking wake-up patterns, choosing “anchor feeds,” using a response ladder, starting with one wake instead of the whole night, and moving nursing earlier in the bedtime routine. If you’re exhausted, touched out, and wondering, “How do I stop nursing every wake-up without abandoning my baby?” — this episode will give you clarity, reassurance, and a place to start.
