What is a full feed?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For the breastfed baby (from birth to 6 months old), a full feed is considered 30-minutes, including burp time, as long as it is not excessive. Over the age of 6 months, a full breast feed will slowly lessen down to about 15-20 minutes by 9-months and about 5-10 minutes by 12-months.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For the bottle-fed baby, a full feed is considered finishing an age-appropriate amount of milk in 30-minutes. We want the feed (+ burp time) to last 30-minutes so if your baby is finishing their bottle faster than this, it may be an indication they are ready to eat more.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If your baby is eating less than this and sleeping through the night, you need not worry. But if your baby is eating less than this and still waking frequently at night, you want to work to establish full feedings, and this will help you achieve the consistent nighttime sleep you are after!

I turned 38 yesterday. It was a rainy day and I spent the majority of the morning crying. May sound depressing or sad, but I'm just trying to be honest here. Without mincing words, the majority of my immediate family has passed away in the last 3 years. My mom, my dad, my uncle, my grandmother, and most recently my aunt, who was like a mom to me. I am divorcing. I live in a place where I don't really know anyone (although I've met some great people). I never thought I would be 38, with 3 kids and an ex-husband. NEVER. No one gets married or has kids thinking they are going to do this alone. I try to not make this my "story" because I could also tell you a very different story, of a woman who is still standing (and thriving) after all of this. The story of a woman who became a woman through all of this. The story of empowerment and finding my way back to myself, to heal from my childhood trauma (that was brought to the forefront as I watched my family pass on). Before they died, I was able to heal my relationships with these people who often annoyed me when they were alive. Life is funny man. Give someone a terminal diagnosis and it ALL becomes clear. I think I cry so much because I wish I knew what I know now, before they died, so I could have enjoyed them more. Alcohol, drugs, drama, dysfunction, whatever... They were my family and I would give anything for more time. I would give anything to have them celebrate with us. We work hard to keep their memory alive through feathers and cardinals and orbs and energy and my daughter's ability to see/feel them. We work hard to continue to celebrate, even through the tears... Life is only as good as the memories we make, and I'm leaning in to it all, one day at a time, and doing my very best for these 3 little people...

One of the greatest benefits of making sure your baby gets the sleep they need, is the HAPPINESS they will exude. Don't believe me, try keeping your baby up too long and see what happens... The happiest, well-rested baby can turn into a nightmare if you skip nap time or if they stay awake too long. This is why I'm such a big believer in helping your baby to sleep, because it ensures they get the daytime sleep they need to keep the consistent nighttime sleep and all of this equates to a really happy baby (and mama)!!
