Your Baby Can Sleep Through the Night AND Still Wake to Eat

from The 10 Minute Newborn | Quick Tips for Newborn Parents · host Kristen Jacob

Everywhere I go, someone finds out I'm a sleep consultant and asks the same thing: what am I doing wrong, and what's your one tip to get my baby sleeping better?I never answer that straight. I ask a question back. Because when you say your baby wakes up, I need to know what that actually looks like. Not all night wakings are created equal, and until I know which kind we're dealing with, any tip I give you is just a guess.In this episode:Why "sleeping through the night" has no real definition, and how two moms can say the exact same sentence and mean completely different thingsThe three kinds of night wakings: biologically normal, habit-based, and true hungerThe one I see constantly after the four month regression, where a habit waking gets answered with a feed and quietly turns into real overnight hungerWhy "just offer a feed" can accidentally build the exact problem you were trying to solveWhat actually fixes it: break the habit, move the calories back to the day, or bothStop asking what you're doing wrong. Start asking what kind of waking this is.Try the Snooze Clues Companion free: https://app.snoozeclues.co/companionKristen Jacob is a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant, Certified Lactation Counselor, and Newborn Care Specialist who has worked with more than 500 families.
