Hello Novita,
Thank you for visiting us! I’m so sorry to hear you’re having trouble with nursing to sleep. Many babies do develop a sleep association with breastfeeding to sleep, so you will want to start gently teaching her how to fall asleep on her own without the breast. She may still need 1-2 night feedings at this age, but she should not be waking so often. We have an article all about breastfeeding to sleep that I think may help here: https://www.babysleepsite.com/baby-sleep-comfort/nursing-baby-to-sleep/
Good luck with everything!

Hi @Elizabeth –
Thanks for writing to us, and we’re so glad that our information has been amazing for you! It sounds like you have a great routine! If you’re concerned about her taking in too many calories from breastfeeding often, you may want to determine how many ounces she may be getting before dropping the pre-nap feed. If you and her both enjoy this feed, you may be able to keep it! This article can help!:

You can always talk to your baby’s doctor about her feeds, and her weight gain can help determine this as well.
If you find that you’d like help making a schedule (including feedings) just for you, please get in touch with us and we’ll share some options for help! Thanks again for writing Elizabeth!

Thank you for this amazing website! I nurse my almost 9 month old as part of our nap time routine. I’ve separated nursing from sleep by reading a book between nursing and crib. But since she is on solids (and also because sometimes naps are too short) and I’m also nursing her upon waking, I’m concerned I’m over feeding her. Is that a concern? Should I work on eliminating pre-nap nursing?

Hi @Victa –
Thank you so much for writing, and I’m sorry that night wakings have become so rough with your daughter!
The four-month time period can be a difficult one for many babies – especially since their sleep is changing, and this can lead to more frequent wake-ups. Here is a great article on our blog that specifically addresses this 4 month sleep change:

I hope that this helps, but if you find that you need more help at any time, please reach out to us! We’d love to help!

Hi @Ubey – Thank you for writing to us about your 10 month old! Check out our free sample schedules for 10 month old babies here, which you can use as a guide for creating a schedule for your little one:

You can slowly work towards less night feedings, and more or longer feeds in the day, and you do not necessarily need to feed before every sleep period. Many families feed when baby wakes, or earlier in the sleep routine, instead of right before they sleep!
I hope that this helps! Good luck Ubey!
