As a Lactation Counselor as well, I take the breastfeeding relationship very seriously because I know that it is important to so many mothers who have a goal to nurse for a specific period of time. Most new mothers question sleep training because they don’t want to impact your supply. I share with moms all the time that sleep training improves your supply!! Here’s why. First, the baby is rested, and when you are rested, you nurse better and more efficiently, cause supply to be better. When you wean off overnights is determined by the total intake of a baby, some babies sleep through the night, even when exclusively breastfeeding at 3 months, sometimes at 6 months, it’s still appropriate to feed overnight, based on supply, and a whole host of other situations. People look at sleep training and breastfeeding as “one or the other” and you can have a child that sleeps well, naps independently, and can have a great supply and protest your breastfeeding relationship. Milk is supply and demand, so when you shift off overnight feedings, the milk simply moves to the daytime, as does your supply, in about 3-5 days. While other sleep consultants out there will cut overnight feeds {in my experience too soon} - here, we look at your goals, babies’ needs, and overall sleep challenges and build a sleep program that works for you.
