When it is normal
For newborns and young babies, feeding and sleep are closely linked. Comfort, closeness and milk all help babies regulate. This is not a failure.
When it starts to feel hard
It becomes more difficult when every bedtime and every night waking requires a full feed to return to sleep, even when hunger is not the main issue.
How to make a gentle change
Start with just one part of the day, such as bedtime. Keep your baby calm, only adjust feeding if it is appropriate for your baby, and introduce a consistent, comforting bedtime cue.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to stop feeding to sleep?
Not always. It depends on whether it works for you and whether it creates frequent night wakings you want to change.
Is feeding to sleep bad?
No. It is a common and biologically normal behaviour, especially early on.
Can I reduce it without leaving my baby to cry?
Yes. A gradual approach can work well.
