The Surprising 'Advice' I Got at My Baby’s Checkup

Today I got some advice from our pediatrician that honestly left me speechless. As a mom exclusively breastfeeding my two-month-old, I’m used to our routine: he sleeps soundly from 8pm until about 2 or 3am, wakes up with a dirty diaper, and after a quick change and feed, goes back down until morning. He’s thriving—big for his age and eating well! But the doctor told me I shouldn’t wake him to change a poopy diaper (even suggested leaving the lights off and just letting him be), and that I should aim to drop all night feeds by three months. I can’t imagine ignoring my baby’s needs for the sake of a schedule. Has anyone else gotten advice like this? Would love to hear your thoughts! #ParentingJourney #NewMomLife #BreastfeedingSupport #Parenting
