What are some strategies for weaning from a bedtime feeding?

Answer by  afamb (557)

If it is in the middle of the night, try soothing your baby back to sleep instead of letting him nurse. He may not be hungry at all and just wanting some comfort. If he is hungry in the middle of the night, make sure his feeding right before bed is big and he is completely satisfied.

You need to disappear from the feedings themselves. Put the baby to bed and disappear. You will need your partner do the feedings for 1 week. It worked for me!

You could try to give dinner at a later time in order for the baby to be full longer. You could also try to put them to bed earlier.

Some strategies for weaning from a bedtime feeding would be to feed earlier in the day so they don't feel hungry at night. Also, distractions such as toys or taking a nap helps.
