Description

Will solids help my baby sleep better? I have been asked this question many times in my 1:1 packages.  So I decided to write about this in detail.


We’ve all heard the old wives tales related to helping your baby sleep through the night:



  • Put rice cereal in their bedtime bottle

  • Drink a Guinness Beer before your last nursing session of the day

  • Flip your baby over, literally holding them upside down from their feet, to switch their days and nights  (that one was new to me but the internet can’t lie right!?)


In the news was a study published in the Journal of American Medical Association Pediatrics which concluded: “the early introduction of solids into the infant’s diet was associated with longer sleep duration, less frequent waking at night, and a reduction in reported very serious sleep problems.”


Hold the phone…… So starting solids earlier helps your baby sleep through the night?
