Abstract
In Reply.—
In our recent paper, we reported the results of a study using behavioral procedures that were successful in helping breast-fed infants to sleep through the night by 8 weeks postpartum.1 The caretaking techniques taught to parents included giving a feeding between 10 pm and midnight, and first using caretaking procedures other than feeding to sooth the distressed infant who awakened between midnight and 5 am In the newborn, feeding and sleeping patterns are tightly linked, and breast-fed newborns must wake and feed frequently in order for successful lactation to be established.
