POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. For a newborn, with no sleep or daytime pattern, it is best to go with the flow and feed on demand, day or night.
Usually, by the time a baby is 4 to 6 months old, he can sleep for few hours at a stretch and may even drop a feed or two at night. Also, around this age, the baby may show some pattern in waking and sleep cycle. Some experts recommend training a baby sleep without breastfeeding around this time (do remember, each baby may reach this stage at a different point).
Some experts believe that sleeping on own is a developmental milestone and each child reaches there when he or she is developmentally ready. But, a mother may not be able to take the exhaustion of feeding to sleep every time, over an extended period, due to various reasons like stress, exhaustion, illness, work commitment, etc.. So depending on your situation and your baby’s comfort you can decide a good time to start dissociating feeding from sleeping.
