SLEEP > Night Wakings

8 week old. Do I unswaddle during night feeds?

(1/1)

KatherineSmithOK:
My 8-week old has been on EASY since we came home from the hospital. She is doing pretty well with naps and nighttime sleep, but my question is: when she wakes up in the middle of the night (still happens 1-2 times), should I unswaddle so that she’s not using the breast as a prop to fall asleep? Or is it okay in this situation to leave her drowsy during feeds (almost like a dream feed) and then lay her down right after I notice she’s done feeding and has fallen back to sleep?

Katet:
At night I'd just keep doing what you are doing. If she is falling asleep from awake during the day then she has the skills.
