All Too Familiar To Me – “3am Feeding”

Exhaustion is a reality of parenthood, especially for those parents dealing with the late-night feeding demands of a hungry infant. While sleep deprivation may come with the territory, according to a new Savvy Parents Survey from Evenflo®, 27% of moms are so tired that they’re actually concerned they might fall asleep during the feeding itself. Thirty-five percent of women surveyed admitted to waiting only about 10 minutes after feeding (vs. the recommended 20) to lay their babies back down if they hadn’t burped, and an additional 23% say they were too tired and waited only a few minutes.

In its newest Savvy Parents webisode entitled “3am Feeding”, Evenflo takes a humorous look at the challenges associated with late night feeding and  the ‘your turn’ routine that often occurs between spouses.  In fact, when we asked a panel of moms about who was responsible for feedings throughout the night: a whopping 74% of moms reported the responsibility lay with them, while only 5% reported having a set schedule with their spouse to share the responsibility.
