1. Why are night feedings so exhausting?

At night, everything is more intense:

• we have less strength
• the body is stiffer
• patience is reduced
• muscle tone decreases
• light is dim, making adjustments difficult

We often try to breastfeed without fully getting up, but maintaining a good posture becomes difficult.

Result: exhaustion accumulates over the night.

2. What role does posture play in nighttime fatigue?

Poor posture can quickly tire out:

• the back
• the shoulders
• the neck
• the arms
• the rib cage

If you constantly need to readjust your pillows, you wake your body up and disrupt the sleep rhythm.

A stable posture helps conserve energy.

3. How does a gentle incline make night feedings easier?

When the upper body is slightly elevated:

• the back is supported
• shoulders remain relaxed
• the head does not fall forward
• the baby is easier to position
• it’s easier to fall back asleep afterward

You don’t need to sit up completely or get up at each feeding.

4. What is the ideal angle for night feedings?

Most moms find that an angle between 10 and 20 degrees is perfect.

This allows:

• for the upper body to remain stable
• to avoid tension in the lower back
• to limit muscle effort
• to stay relaxed throughout the feeding

A gentler incline also promotes drowsiness and makes falling back asleep easier.

5. How does CosyLift make night feedings more comfortable?

CosyLift gently and evenly raises the mattress, allowing:

• to settle into a semi-seated posture without effort
• to remain stable all night
• to avoid frequent repositioning
• to conserve mom’s energy
• to reduce pain related to nighttime fatigue

The mattress stability makes a real difference when the body is already tired.

6. What other actions help reduce nighttime fatigue?

A few habits can help:

• keep a glass of water nearby
• prepare a nursing pillow before going to bed
• avoid strong lights
• lightly cover up to stay relaxed
• keep the baby within reach if possible

Combined with good posture, these small actions really improve nights.

7. Does a good posture also help with falling back asleep?

Yes.

When the body is well supported, transitioning between wakefulness and sleep is easier.

A gentle incline:

• avoids sudden movements
• reduces muscle tension
• helps breathing remain calm
• facilitates a quick transition to sleep

This doesn’t eliminate waking, but makes each feeding gentler.
