I have to be honest, and found it never worked for me and my babes. In theory it makes perfect sense, and is common sense, so I tried it with both Olivia and Charlie, and attempted to breast feed them before I got into bed in the evening.

But they were either way too sleepy to feed properly, or they would slightly wake up and be grumpy and refuse to feed! Even if they did have a half decent feed, they would still wake at the usual time anyway (around 3am). So after a few futile attempts, I gave up!

That said, both Olivia and Charlie started sleeping through by themselves very early on, and have continued to do so, so it was no drama anyway.

Just goes to show how different our babies all are!
