Show Notes

If you're looking for techniques to help your baby get more nighttime sleep and/or you're trying to get a longer first stretch of sleep yourself, chances are you've tried or are considering trying a dream feed. Virtually all of us know someone who swears the dream feed was key to getting their baby sleeping through the night. Sometimes it works. In fact, Allison often recommends it as a strategy to try before babies are 12 weeks old.

But, after 12 weeks, this proactive feeding while your baby is still snoozing has some real potential downsides. In today's episode, Allison will walk you through the risks with these feedings as babies mature. Tune in to hear Alison's full advice on dream feeds for your baby, both before the 12 week mark and after.
