Mistakes on Breastfeeding patterns make Insomnia on Baby?

14 Jan 2011 by

One of the biggest challenges for new parents is, lack of sleep when the new baby has. Babies often wake up middle of the night and need milk. This will not only disrupt your sleep quality, but also the quality of infant sleep.

From some research, found that infant sleep problems partly caused by the feeding process itself. Therefore, investigations to reveal different aspects of breastfeeding, and what effect, so that it can disrupt sleep routines and habits of infants. Some results of these studies are:

1. Combining breastfeeding and give the milk from the bottle
Combined bottle and breastfeeding can potentially cause problems sleeping. Because after you breastfeed, your breasts will give a signal to the brain that you have to produce more milk for the next feeding schedule. But if you change-replace breastfeeding by providing milk via a bottle, you disrupt your body’s natural processes, and the less amount of milk will be produced.

Then when you breastfeed your baby, he will not be getting enough milk because not much is produced. As a result the baby has not fulfilled his hunger, and demand more milk. Thus, he will more often get up in the middle of the night to feed.

2. Breastfeeding until your baby fall asleep
This can cause problems in sleep patterns. Baby will catch that you feed him at bedtime, so it will depend on the division this time. After experiencing this several times, the baby will get stuck into a routine that he does expect every feeding.

To prevent this behavior occurs, try to change the time, or length of time, when you breastfeed your baby at bedtime. Slowly, you can remove the link between breastfeeding and hours of sleep. In addition, you can breastfeed your baby early, so the baby will learn to start her own bed to sleep in accordance hours.

3. Your diet
For nursing mothers, whatever you drink or eat will affect breastfeeding. If you are eating is not “appropriate quota” every day, the milk will be affected. Because of that, you try to eat regularly three times a day, plus snacks in between meals such schedule. Breastfeeding must have a satisfactory amount of calories, so the baby feel satisfied and full. If not, then that baby will continue to demand for food, and disturbing his sleep.

Do not forget to eat healthy food, and drink lots of water and milk throughout the day. These things will also support the milk supply. The more the baby feel full, the better sleep.

4. Solid Food helps babies sleep?
The opposite of what is perceived over the years, various studies did not show any change in sleeping patterns among infants fed breast milk or milk in bottles, with babies who eat solids. In addition, most doctors do not recommend additional solid food before six months of age infants.
