Feeding more calories does not make your child sleep longer.

  1. When your child is hungry, then feed your child.
  2. When your child is drowsy, then soothe your child to sleep.
    1. Because sucking is soothing, encourage sucking (pacifier, wrist, fist, or finger) at sleep times.
  3. Feeding and soothing your child to sleep need not necessarily have to occur at the same time.
