Your baby skips a feed they âalwaysâ woke forâwhat now? Do you feed them earlier the next night, or hold the boundary and resettle? In this episode, Sally & Bec unpack a listenerâs real-life case of a 7-month-old who suddenly dropped their 10pm feed, and explain the golden rules for weaning night feeds without backsliding into more wakings.
What Youâll Learn:
⢠Why anchoring day feeds sets the stage for night weaning
⢠The two golden rules: donât bring back dropped feeds + always protect the 7am feed
⢠How to handle âfalse startsâ (waking at 12:20 after managing 1am the night before)
⢠The role of trial and error with feed volumes at 5am
⢠Why many babies organically stretch nights once calories are locked into the day
⢠The Tim Tam analogy for night wakes (youâll never forget it!)
