Night waking & breastfeeding your baby back to sleep is not only NORMAL, it’s also GOOD for BOTH of you!

Reasons to breastfeed over night:

🌜Breastmilk contains tryptophan, an amino acid used by the body to make melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone that helps induce and regulate sleep.

🌜Breastfeeding mothers get more sleep too. (40-45mins on average from 0-6m)

🌜Prolactin makes a mother feel relaxed and sleepy, this means she gets back to sleep more quickly, & is better rested.

🌜Babies have small tummies, & breastmilk is digested quickly. On average babies 0-6m take in 20% of their daily calories over night. Feeding babies over night ensures they get their daily calorie quota.

🌜Mothers have varying storage capacity in their breasts, so for many women night feedings are essential to meeting their babies’ needs.

🌜If you are using the Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM) of birth control, night feeds are essential for this to have maximum possible effectiveness.

🌜More prolactin is produced at night, so breastfeeding at night is especially helpful for keeping up the milk supply.

🌜Breastfeeding ensures a mother and her baby have close contact around the clock & protects against SIDS.

How many times do you breastfeed over night?🌙✨

In those precious first few days, babies don't take in much volume- which is why colostrum is that beautiful golden colour- maximum nutrients despite small volume!
