Night wakings can be one of the most confusing parts of early parenting — especially when you're wondering whether your baby is waking out of hunger or habit. In this episode, Allison Egidi tackles one of the most common questions she gets as a certified sleep consultant: How do I know when my baby is ready to sleep through the night without feeding?

Allison shares:

• The difference between true hunger and habitual night wakings

• Her experience helping her own daughter (and thousands of client families) through the night-weaning process

• Typical milestones that suggest your baby may be ready to drop night feedings

• How to gradually and gently reduce night feeds without guilt

• Signs that it may be too soon to wean — and when to check in with your pediatrician

• Why night feeding rhythms can stick around longer than necessary and how to reset them

You'll leave this episode with a framework for night weaning that feels compassionate, evidence-informed, and tailored to your baby's readiness — not someone else's timeline.
