Feeding to sleep yay or nay?

View this email in your browser “If my baby falls asleep feeding, will this form a feed to sleep association?” No, absolutely not!  We hear this from Mumma’s on the daily! One settle on the breast or bottle won’t lead to a “bad” habit forming.  Just like one kitkat at night, won’t lead to you eating the entire bag… (most of the time🙊). Often, it can feel like you are under the watchful eye of everyone! Worried that one wrong move will ruin it all.  The thing is, to form a feed-to-sleep association your little one has to know this and only this! They will struggle to fall asleep any other way, as this is all they know.  If your little one falls asleep on the breast or bottle every now and then, don’t stress yourself. They will still be able to fall asleep the way they always have the next time you go to put them down.  Sometimes we don’t give our little ones enough credit. They retain more than you think.   Remember Mumma no one knows your baby better than you do!  If your baby feeds to sleep all the time and this works for you, I'm all for it!! You have to do what works for you! There is no right or wrong. After further guidance? Check out our sleep guides here! Copyright © 2022 The Sleep Teacher, All rights reserved.
