Here’s the truth. If you don’t understand how feeding affects your baby’s sleep, and how sleep affects your baby’s feeding, you will find that you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and lack confidence in your ability to know exactly what your baby needs. This is especially true for breastfeeding mothers. Almost every breastfeeding mom I’ve met asks themselves one of these questions… Is my baby getting enough? If I bottle feed, will my baby sleep longer? I want to breastfeed, but will my baby still sleep through the night if I do? Hear this: You can breastfeed and have your baby sleep through the night. Understanding how breastfeeding and schedules relate to each other is the key to getting your baby to extend her nighttime sleep. I’m Hillary, the mama behind Baby Settler. I’m also a Registered Nurse and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant who has devoted my career to helping mothers and babies. As a mom of three, I know the sleep-feed struggle is real. There is an abundance of information at our fingertips thanks to the internet, but many times the advice given is conflicting and one-sided. This can lead parents to feel like they must be doing something wrong because their baby isn’t following the book they’ve read or the recommended schedule they’ve found. After spending over 10,000 hours working with breastfeeding mothers, I’ve combined my professional experience, personal experience, and the current evidence-based research to explain the why behind my recommendations for getting your baby (and you) sleep. It’s my mission to help parents feel confident knowing what their baby needs, be able to establish a daily routine, navigate feedings whether breast or bottle, and get quality uninterrupted sleep! When you don’t understand the relationship between feeding and sleep, you might feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and even angry that your baby is in an endless cycle of ineffective feedings and interrupted sleep. And you might start to feel guilt or anxiety because you find you’re not enjoying this season of life. It doesn’t have to be this way. You can avoid [or break out of ] this cycle and feel confident knowing what your baby needs! This book will give you the tools you need to navigate feedings confidently, have a routine you can plan your day around, and have a baby that sleeps like a baby at night! You can thrive in this season! You’ve got this!
