At the ages of 8-12 months, your baby will begin to need less sleep
during the day and should be regularly sleeping through the night. But
there’s also much more activity and stimulation during the day ? babies
are eating up the world at this stage, they’re learning so much.

As your newborn baby grows, it is slowly acclimating to sleeping at
night and being awake during the day. Also, as baby’s stomach is
growing and holding more breast milk or formula, it will be able to go
for longer periods between feedings at night. At approximately three
months of age your baby will likely sleep about 15 hours out of each
24-hour period, and two thirds of that sleep will take place during the
night. Most babies will have settled into a daily sleep routine of two
or three sleep periods during the day, followed by “sleeping through
the night” for 6 to 7 hours after a late-night feeding.

With their good intentions, some breastfeeding advocates have become like a drill sergeants. They begin every conversation lecturing about why everyone should breastfeed and never ever use formula.
Maybe they need to remember their first time as a mother again. Taking care of a brand-new (sometimes colicky) baby, new mothers can be tired from lack of sleep and just need a little encouragement and support. Sometimes this militant “breastfeed-or-else support” backfires and leaves new moms turned off to breastfeeding altogether.
