Babies: 0 - 3 Months

When should I last breast feed my 6 week old before bed?

i have heard that nursing to sleep is not a good habit to get into. I have been doing that with my baby who is 6 weeks old and I think I need to stop it now that she is sleeping longer at night (4-6hours). Should I start feeding her before I start her bed time routine (last diaper change, swaddle and a few cuddles) I am not sure if feeding her before I do this other stuff will cause her to be hungry earlier during the night? I usually put her down after nursing her by 10:15pm. Let me know what you think! What do you do at 6 weeks?

  • I nursed her to sleep. I still do at 8 months quite frequently. To me, it's not a huge deal to nurse and then put her down. I do that with naps, too, but will put her down awake if she won't go to sleep and I think she's tired. 

    It may not be the best habit, but I also don't think it's a huge deal, and I think she'll grow out of it.
