The 2am feed goes a lot smoother when everything you need is already within reach. A night feed station is just that: one spot, set up once, so you're not hunting for things in the dark.
1. Pick your spot
Your bed, a feeding chair or the couch. Choose the place you'll actually feed most nights and set it up there.
2. Soft light, not the big light
A bright overhead light can wake the whole house. A dimmable, portable breastfeeding night light gives you just enough light to see the latch, change a nappy or check on baby. The bodie night light is touch controlled, so you can switch it on and dim it one-handed.
3. Keep it within arm's reach
- Water bottle
- Snacks
- Nursing pads
- Burp cloths
- Phone and charger
- Nipple balm
A bedside nursing organiser keeps all of this in one place instead of scattered on the floor.
4. Dress for feeding
Wear something that makes feeding easy. A nursing singlet with a built-in bra means less fumbling at 2am.
5. Reset in the morning
Refill the water, restock the pads and recharge the light, so tonight's station is ready to go.
