21. Will Starting Solids Help My Baby Sleep Through The Night?


Listen Later

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?
