[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those saying night nanny, how much does that help if you are BFing? If you are still being woken up 3x a night and have a hard time falling back asleep, that doesn’t seem like it would help.[/quote] No, a baby nurse doesn’t help the sleep aspect much if you are breastfeeding. To establish a supply you need to be feeding or pumping every few hours in the beginning. My daughter started sleeping through the night pretty early- by 6-8 weeks- and through trial and error I think I pumped late at night before bed while she slept and then didn’t feed until she woke up. But this doesn’t work for everyone and I never made as much as au did for my firstborn; where I pumped around the clock (and he didn’t sleep through the night until sleep training at close to a year.) Long story short- good sleep habits, formula feeding, and baby nurse all help odds that you’ll sleep. [/quote]
