If the nurses console the baby too long, and the baby is using his energy by crying and being  awake, once the baby gets to mom, the baby is too tired to latch  and suckle. Then during the day, he will be too sleepy and have not enough energy to wake up and suckle, because he was kept awake and on a diet during the night!  Yes, and moms milk supply will not increase.  A vicious cycle!

, many moms send
their babies to nursery at night.  Our nurses are good about not
supplementing with formula, but they tend to take baby out to mom no more
than every 3 hours, and only if they can't console them any other way.
