A schedule with one or two nighttime feedings is a little more unstable than one with no feedings, because it means that sometimes your child gets fed before she goes back to sleep during the night and sometimes she doesn’t. If she has been waking once a night for a feeding, she may begin waking twice a night, and if you feed her at that second waking, she may begin waking three times a night. You can prevent this regression by sticking to a maximum number of feedings and a minimum time between feedings and, if necessary, by making certain that after she feeds she is always put to bed awake.
