We don't wake up, but if we're hungry, we breastfeed immediately. 🤍

😴 Training a Long Sleep Baby... There is no need to start "Abstaining from Night Milk" since having Phoebus. One of the things that Ma Mi spends a lot of time reading is "Baby Sleep."

Because everyone would want you to sleep well, sleep long and wake up in a good mood.

The more you read it, the more you find it, some tell you to practice sleep, some tell you to avoid night milk, some say you have to wake up every 3 hours.

Finally, went back to ask the pediatrician

The answer is...

The goal of young children is not to sleep the longest, but to sleep safely and get enough milk to grow.

That made our home choose a rather simple way.

🤍 Our home "doesn't wake up," but it "doesn't stop milk."

Many people mistake that.

"No wake = no milk."

Actually, not at all.

Our home didn't set the Phoebus alarm clock to eat night milk.

But when you wake up...

We immediately breastfed.

There's no letting go hungry.

No training to starve milk.

There was no screaming to keep sleeping.

We just let sleep and eating meet his body's needs.

Because at about two months of age, many children still need to wake up for milk, which is normal and not something to fix.

Why doesn't the pediatrician recommend waking every child?

During birth, doctors may recommend waking their babies to breastfeed every 2-3 hours, especially in children who

* Weight has not returned as early as at birth

* Bad weight gain

* Premature birth

* There are some congenital diseases

But when the child is healthy, the weight is better, and the pediatrician estimates that the milk is enough.

Many children can continue to sleep until they are hungry themselves.

So whether "no wake" is done depends on the pediatrician's assessment, not on age alone.

Our home thing is more focused on "long sleep."

We're not trying to make Phoebus sleep 8-10 hours stuck.

Instead, try to create a good sleeping background.

Every night will try to do a similar routine.

🛁. Shower.

🍼. Eat milk.

🌙. Turn on the dim light.

🤍 Turn on White Noise gently.

😴. Put it to bed.

This same routine helps you gradually learn that now is time to rest.

What if you wake up at night?

The answer is very simple.

Breastfeeding

For children of this age, hunger is the most important reason to wake up.

We're not trying to find a way to trick ourselves into sleeping.

Didn't give a teat instead every time

Didn't let him cry until he fell asleep himself

If you're hungry, give milk.

If you're sleepy, sleep.

Then how to know if the baby has received enough milk?

Pediatricians look at a number of common factors, such as

✔ Weight gain by criteria

✔. Height and line around the head grow well.

✔ urinate several times a day.

✔ You wake up for milk.

✔ No dehydration.

If everything meets the criteria, it is considered sufficient milk.

No need to look at just how many times you eat at night.

What I want to tell all your parents

Each child has their own rhythm.

Some people start sleeping fast.

Some people still wake up every 2-3 hours.

Both are "normal."

Waking up for milk at two or three months does not mean that a stepdaughter does not sleep and does not mean that we do anything wrong.

As the brain, nervous system, and stomach capacity develop, most children gradually sleep longer.

For our house. 🤍

Phoebus is about 2 months old now.

At night, we didn't set the alarm clock to give milk.

But it doesn't abstain from night milk either.

If Phoebus is asleep, we let him sleep.

But when he wakes up hungry, we give milk right away.

Because for our home...

Good sleep is not the longest bed you have.

It is to sleep when you want to sleep, eat when you are hungry, and grow healthy at your own pace. 🤍
