Week 2 · Day 9
Separate feeding from sleep
Break the feed-to-sleep association
Today's lesson
If your baby always nurses or bottles to sleep, they'll expect it at every waking. Move the final feed to the start of the routine so the crib becomes the place where sleep happens.
Your action steps
- Feed in a well-lit room, then move to the bedroom.
- Keep the feed awake with a diaper change or fresh clothes.
- End the routine in the crib, not at the breast or bottle.
