How the Early Weeks of Breastfeeding Impact Long-Term Milk Supply (and Why That Matters for Sleep)

The early weeks of breastfeeding play a critical role in establishing long-term milk supply — and that foundation can have a meaningful impact on infant sleep.

In this collaborative workshop, Grace Zanoli, PA-C, CLC, joins Kenyon Gatlin, Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant and founder of Nite Nite Baby Pediatric Sleep Consulting, to explore how breastfeeding supply and infant feeding patterns influence sleep during the first year of life.

Many parents are told that frequent night waking is simply a sleep issue, but in many cases hunger is one of the primary drivers of infant waking.

Understanding how milk supply is established in the early weeks can help parents better understand their baby’s feeding needs and sleep patterns.

In this workshop, parents will learn:

• Why hunger is one of the biggest drivers of infant night waking
• How the early weeks of breastfeeding establish long-term milk supply
• How milk intake influences infant sleep patterns
• Why strong milk supply can support healthier sleep foundations over time

By understanding how feeding and sleep work together, parents can approach infant sleep with more clarity and realistic expectations.

This workshop is ideal for expecting parents and parents of newborns during the first year of life.
