How can I stay awake during middle-of-the-night feeds?

Night feeds can be incredibly tiring, but there are several ways to stay alert. Some parents find it helpful to listen to podcasts, audiobooks, or watch shows that they have been saving specifically for these quiet hours. Others prefer a screen-free approach, focusing on the bonding experience or using comfortable, upright postures to remain conscious. If you find yourself consistently nodding off, prioritize safety and have your partner assist with soothing or monitoring during these times.
