I know a lot of us feed to sleep and that babies are biologically wired to do so. But what are we doing when a nap only lasts 30 mins and the wake window is then over in 1.5 hours… its only been 2 hours since the last feed so are we feeding again for the next nap? This is what I’m struggling the most with right now! My baby has definitely formed a feed to sleep association so it’s a lot harder to get them to nap without a feed.

No your baby will show signs they are hungry. How old is your little one?

I think my daughter is the same I’ve noticed she gives similar cues when she wants to sleep (hands in mouth) when she’s truly hungry she will root as well and smack lips. I still put her on if she just seems tired. You can try putting your baby back on the breast she just had. I think it’s normal to still offer the breast for soothing at 3 months. You could try the National Breastfeeding helpline if you’d like some reassurance https://www.nationalbreastfeedinghelpline.org.uk/
