Feeding past infancy is something we celebrate in this corner of the internet.

We don’t question it.

Soooo…what do you do?

Here’s the truth…blanket sleep advice like this often doesn’t work.

Why?

Every baby has their own temperament, sleep needs, and limits. What works like a dream for one child might completely backfire for another.

Simple tweaks to sleep do exist…but if the person recommending it doesn’t have clue about the other details of your child’s sleep then it may not make any difference!

It’s not about following a rule, but more about finding what works for your baby.

Trial and error takes time and it can take a couple of weeks for things to shift.

Oh, and just because a certain strategy helps one baby sleep through the night…it certainly won’t apply to all others!

What’s the worst advice you’ve been given when it comes to baby sleep?

Shall I tell you why it’s hard?

Because it IS hard.

But you know what else?

Despite the sheer exhaustion, the bubbling rage and the accidental snapping, you’re are providing a beautiful loving home for your baby and that’s really all they need.

A new season is coming where it all feels much more manageable 💙

False starts…split nights…or just frequent waking?

A lot of blame often falls on ‘not knowing how to link sleep cycles’ and it can be much harder for some babies than others!

🔥 Hot tip: stopping feeding to sleep doesn’t magically stop night wakes. Babies wake for all sorts of reasons, so it’s important to look at the whole picture (even if you’ve read that one trick fixes everything).

For lots of families, feeding is simply the fastest way to get everyone back to sleep. Removing it can actually make nights harder, not easier.

If feeding to sleep works for you and your baby, there’s absolutely no pressure to stop just because it worked for someone else. Every baby is different, every family is different, and sometimes the best tool is the one that helps everyone get back to sleep the quickest. 💤

But, of course, if it’s no longer working for you or you’ve reached the point of being touched out and overwhelmed by it all, there are always changes that can be made-gently and responsively ❤️

Do you feed to sleep, rock, cuddle, or something else to get your baby back down at night?

“Drowsy but awake” works beautifully for some babies, but not for some it’s an absolute no go.

For more sensitive temperaments, being put down while drowsy can actually leave them feeling unsettled or dysregulated, making it harder for them to settle and fall asleep.

Every baby’s nervous system is different, and sleep strategies aren’t a one size fits all approach.

What works for one family may not work for another and that’s okay.

Have you tried “drowsy but awake”?

Did it work for your baby or make things more difficult?
