Facts About Night Feeding Your Baby
Night feeding your baby is different from regular breastfeeding. At night, when you feed your baby, it is mainly for the purpose of putting him/her to sleep. Many babies are breastfed only at night while they are bottle fed during the day. Night feeding your baby back to sleep has many benefits both for you and your baby. That is why many mothers choose night feeding their baby beyond six months. Most doctors advise you to breastfeed exclusively for six months and then continue night feeding as long as you can.
Night feeding your baby has many benefits but also have a couple of problems. Some babies who are night fed are very difficult to wean. They continue feeding at night well beyond two years or more. Besides, if your child has a tendency to throw up milk, then reflux can make night feeding baby back to sleep difficult.
GASSY FOODS TO AVOID DURING BREAST FEEDING
Here are some points which you must take care of when you are night feeding your baby:
Sleeping
Position
For
night
feeding,
you
must
hold
your
baby
in
the
sleeping
position.
Lie
down
next
to
your
baby
and
adjust
your
baby's
position
to
feed
him
or
her.
This
will
naturally
soothe
the
baby
to
a
restful
slumber.
Gives
You
Rest
Night
feeding
allows
the
mother
a
lot
of
rest.
Getting
up
in
the
middle
of
the
night
and
feeding
your
baby
from
a
bottle
can
be
very
exhausting.
But
when
you
breastfeed
at
night,
you
can
fall
back
to
sleep
after
your
baby
sleeps
off.
Baby
Sleeps
Through
The
Night
Your
baby
gets
into
the
habit
of
sleeping
through
the
night
when
you
night
feed
him/her.
Feeding
from
a
bottle
at
night
awakens
them
and
you
have
to
lull
the
baby
back
to
sleep
by
rocking
or
singing.
When
the
baby
sleeps
through
the
night,
he
or
she
wakes
up
fresh
in
the
morning.
Reflux
Problem
Some
babies
have
a
milk
reflux
problem
wherein
they
throw
up
milk
after
every
feed.
You
have
to
turn
your
baby
sideways
and
rub
his
or
her
back
to
ensure
that
the
milk
has
gone
down.
Or
else,
your
baby
could
choke
on
the
refluxed
milk.
Difficult
To
Wean
Babies
who
are
night
fed
are
very
difficult
to
wean.
They
get
into
a
habit
of
getting
fed
at
night
and
falling
asleep.
They
do
not
want
to
stop
getting
breastfed
even
after
they
grow
up
because
it
is
like
a
habit.
All in all, night feeding your baby is a healthy practice. You should continue night feeding for as long as you can after six months of exclusive breastfeeding.
