Breastfeeding at Night: How to Actually Rest
Night feeds are biological
Your milk peaks in the evening.
Your baby’s brain asks for fat & comfort.
This is not regression — it’s growth.
Turn your room into a calm nest
-
Dim warm lights
-
Water nearby
-
Burp cloth ready
-
Soft music or silence
Your nervous system feeds your baby too.
The side-lying position
No back pain.
No tense arms.
No sitting in tears at 3AM.
Feed → burp → cuddle → sleep.
Don’t check the clock
Time weakens intuition.
Cues strengthen it.
Follow the baby, not the hour.
Night weaning is not for newborns
Before 4–6 months, babies need night feeds.
Repetition builds peace
Every night is practice.
Your body learns.
Your baby learns.
