Common in some: If you use a final feeding as babies transition to sleep, they will expect to be fed every time they alert & need more sleep. Babies like adults develop sleep rituals. You need feed at least 15-30 min before you let baby settle into sleep. Read to,talk to but do not hold as they settle. Over time baby will learn to self settle & can do so in the night.
