At what age does a baby stop feeding at night?

Many mothers get up at night to feed their babies despite their sleepiness, but when the baby refuses to feed at night, they will feel very headache and sometimes feel bad. Over time, it may be bad for both you and your baby. Therefore, you must have a systematic understanding of why your baby does not feed at night before doing so that you can feed your baby more smoothly in the future.

1. First of all, you need to make it clear that your baby is on breastfeeding strike, not trying to be weaned. Usually babies under 9 months old will not take the initiative to wean themselves.

2. Pay attention to the baby's physical and emotional state, understand the reasons for the feeding strike, and find ways to induce the baby to start breastfeeding again. At this time, put aside extra things, concentrate on accompanying your baby, let him stay close to you, or take a bath and play with him, it will be easy to rekindle your baby's desire to breastfeed.

3. Feeding while sleeping can easily disrupt the baby's behavior of resisting breastfeeding. A baby who refuses breastfeeding when awake may readily accept the breast when sleepy.

4. Sleep with your baby at night. Sleeping with skin contact is the easiest way for the baby to feel the mother's care. Try to let the baby sleep close to the breast to create a breastfeeding atmosphere and help the baby recall the joy and satisfaction of breastfeeding. Sometimes babies need several days of hugging and comforting before they are willing to breastfeed. Mothers should remember not to force their babies.

5. Change the feeding method. The baby may suddenly stop breastfeeding because he or she does not like the way the mother feeds. Therefore, when the baby refuses to feed, the mother may wish to change the feeding environment and posture, and choose the baby's favorite posture, rocking chair, bed or a specific area in the home to feed.

There must be a reason why your baby does not eat at night, so when you encounter such a thing, you don’t have to feel very annoyed.
