The second night with a newborn is one of the most common times parents worry that something isn’t right — when in reality, their baby is doing exactly what babies are meant to do.
After a sleepy first day, many newborns wake frequently on night two and want to eat often. This helps them feel safe, take in small but important amounts of colostrum, and signal your body to build milk supply.
When parents know this ahead of time, the second night feels less scary and more predictable — even if it’s still tiring.
If you’re pregnant and want to feel prepared for those early days (including nights like this), my prenatal breastfeeding education focuses on what actually tends to happen and how to plan for it.
