I understand that some infant sleep specialists - including some health professionals - suggest that from 6-12 weeks of age, babies do not need to feed overnight. This is almost always untrue: rarely some well, term babies “sleep through”

Babies start to develop a circadian rhythm at about 2-4 months of age. You can help your baby’s circadian rhythm to mature.

There are things you can do to help optimise your baby’s natural sleep regulators, and to help to make the nights feel more manageable.

Have a baby who will only nap for 20-40 mins at a time in the day? Feel like you could set a timer to their naps? Maybe they’ll sleep longer if they’re sleeping on you or if they’re moving in a car/ pram, but they wake the second you put them down or stop moving?
