Question
The baby is now five months old and has developed a habit of milk sleep. They wake up many times at night and need to be fed. How can we break the milk sleep habit and allow the baby to sleep longer at one stretch?
Answer
Starting from four months, you can begin to reduce the number of night feedings, gradually allowing the baby to adapt. Sometimes, when the baby cries, it may not be because they are hungry but rather seeking the comfort of suckling. In such cases, you can offer a pacifier, but be mindful not to use it long-term as it may affect tooth development.
