Babies aren’t gas tanks

Babies aren’t gas tanks.

They’re not meant to “fill up” and then coast for hours.

It’s normal (and healthy!) for babies to eat different amounts at different times—just like you do.

Some feedings are full meals.

Some are snacks.

Some are just quick sips for comfort.

The goal isn’t to stretch out the time between feeds.

The goal is to respond to their needs—even when it feels unpredictable.

You’re not doing anything wrong.

Your baby is doing exactly what they’re designed to do.

Trust the baby, trust the process, trust yourself.

You’ve got this.
