Growth Spurts: Babies go through growth spurts where they may feed more frequently and be more fussy than usual. After feeding, they may feel more relaxed and need extra sleep to help their bodies grow.
Comfort and Fullness: If your baby was cranky, it could be due to hunger or discomfort, and after breastfeeding for an extended time, they may feel full and comforted, leading them to fall into a long sleep.
Sleep Needs: Babies' sleep patterns vary, and sometimes they may sleep longer after a period of fussiness or during a developmental phase.
Comfort: Sometimes babies become cranky due to overstimulation or needing extra comfort, and breastfeeding can help calm them down, leading to a more restful sleep afterward.
If your baby is feeding well, seems content after sleeping, and is gaining weight appropriately, this is generally normal. However, if you notice any unusual signs or symptoms, it’s always a good idea to discuss them with your pediatrician to ensure everything is okay.
