If trying to get baby to nurse less at night what do you do of they fuss?
Hi there!
My 5 month old wakes 4 times a night to feed. During the day and for bedtime he falls asleep by himself no problems BUT he gets up 4 times to feed at night.
My partner tries to settle him but he'll keep fussing until fed. Once fed he falls asleep immediately.
Now I get people say feed less at night but what do you do if they wake up and won't settle even with comfort? Do you let them ride it out?
More context: Good weight and feeds well and often during the day. He only naps 2.5 hours during rhe day too so we can't shorten that any further.
