Baby Sleep Myths Debunked!

Keep your baby up a lot in  the day so that they sleep more at night.  FALSE - sleep feeds sleep.  A baby who doesn't sleep lives on adrenaline and that makes it harder to achieve sleep. 
 
Bring you child to the park  to tire them out and they will have a great long nap!! Though sometimes TRUE this  is FALSE- a baby who cannot successfully self soothe will have not much use for all that spent energy after a 20-45 min power nap. 


Your baby isn’t sleeping  through the night because you are breastfeeding FALSE - A breastfed baby  can sleep through the night the same time a formula fed baby can. If mom is confident in the supply and baby is gaining then this isn’t an issue.
 
Start feeding your baby  solids, formula or cereal in the bottle and they will sleep though the  night. FALSE -Sleeping the night and self soothing is a learned skill. something that must be learned   independently kind of like learning to walk.  

Once your child slept through the night they will never wake at night again FALSE - your child may  wake  many times overnight in their lifetime. As adults we wake up too but learn to  get back to sleep. As babies its the same. there is no need to introduce
food at  any of these times as your child's body is in hibernation overnight. By feeding  it something other then water you are basically going to have to start from  scratch.
