Second the above comment! Don’t show reaction or talk to baby during night feeds… once you open your mouth… that’s it. Byebye sleep and by the time baby is asleep, it’s pump time and when you’re finally done, baby needs to feed again 🤣. Daytime I usually sleep talk (half awake half asleep) if my baby doesn’t want to sleep after feeding. Then afternoon feed I will play with her after feeding and burping, then do some TT as well (started from day 1).
