Most new parents have some (or a lot of) questions regarding their baby and sleep. Each family’s questions about sleep are as unique as each baby. Some wonder where baby should sleep, how often baby should wake to eat, how to get comfy breastfeeding lying down, how to maintain intimacy with their partner, what is normal baby behavior and so forth. Some quality research on sleep and nighttime parenting can be found online (see links below). If you are struggling with night time nursing/ parenting issues, consider an in-person or phone consult with Luna Lactation. We support families dealing with sleep-related stress all the time and there are two things we know: 1) there is a usually a root cause of the issue and 2) there is usually a solution or arrangement that can be made to work for all involved!
