This helps maintain a healthy milk supply if breastfeedingAnchor Feedings: The first feeding of the day, known as the "Anchor Feed," is vital. Aim for a feed between 6:30 am and 7:30 am; but remember you've got a 30 minute window.The Importance of Naps: After the Anchor Feed, help your baby to nap within 45-60 minutes. The aim is a solid nap of 60-90 minutes in a conducive sleep environment. If your baby is struggling to sleep on their own, ensure they're swaddled and guide them to deep sleep before placing them back to bed. ๐ As you adjust to this new phase, remember that establishing routines now will set the foundation for easier transitions in the future.
