For example, if your child usually feeds for 10 minutes, feed for 8 minutes for 2 nights, then 6 minutes for the next 2 nights, and so on. Re-settle your child after each shortened feed with the settling techniques of your choice.Feed your baby at the beginning of the bedtime routine.Put your baby to bed drowsy but not asleep.Don't go cold-turkey if your baby currently wakes between four to six times a night.Don't panic if your baby falls asleep during a night feed.Most newborns have a strong desire to suck at times in addition to feeding. They particularly enjoy sucking when tired. Newborns have an active sucking reflex, which means they are likely to feed, awake or during light sleep, whenever a feed is offered.Reduce the volume of milk by 20-30 ml every second night. ...Re-settle your baby after each smaller feed with the settling techniques of your choice.Once you get down to 60 ml or less in the bottle, stop the feed altogether.
