“When can I stop night feeds?” 🍼🌙
It’s one of the most common questions I get—and the answer isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Some babies are ready to drop night feeds as early as 6 months, while others may need one overnight feed a little longer, especially if they were premature or have weight gain concerns.
Here are a few signs your baby might be ready:
✨ They’re over 6 months and gaining weight well
✨ They’re taking full feeds during the day
✨ They’re waking at the same time(s) out of habit, not hunger
✨ They fall asleep quickly after feeding (and don’t take much)
💛 But remember—night feeds are still normal in the first year.
It’s not about cutting them out cold turkey—it’s about tuning into your baby’s needs and making changes gradually (and with support, if you need it).
Not sure what’s hunger and what’s habit? Send me a DM and let's troubleshoot together.
