feeding to sleep

I don't feed to sleep because DS just won't, but if he would, i'd totally do it all the time. I mean, if you are often out at bedtime and your DH has to put him down or he takes like 4 hours to nod off it might be a problem but otherwise i'd say go crazy. He won't want to do it for forever. Though DS would ONLY feed to sleep for a few weeks then he kind of lost the urge and has refused ever since so he might just need a bit of extra help this week and will get independant again. So, long story short i'd say if you dont mind feeding him off, continue!

I still feed to sleep and dont really know how to stop. We started doing it when DS was 6 months old and he had his first cold. 4 months later and I think he needs me to feed him to get to sleep. We also currently co-sleep so DS is feeding through the night too, but we are wanting to stop that at some stage as we want our bed back! At the moment, feeding to sleep is being a bit of a hindrance to us personally, but if it works for you, then great! :)

Its not so much a problem ATM im just worried it could be in the future......he self settles really well for his day sleeps, (if I catch him before the tired signs)   Its just recently he has decided he doest want to go too bed at bed time and he knows we will get him up, we tried VR a couple of times just dont think its for us as he only gets more worked up when I go in.  If he had his way he would sit up with us all night talking babble and being ever so cute, but very tired I put him straight on the boob and he is fast asleep.  Dont mind doing it now whilst he is still young just dont wanna create a habit for when he is bigger..........

I still (and always have) feed my 18 month old to sleep and will continue until it stops working for whatever reason. I enjoy it, it is a nice relaxing way to end the day for us both and a great time to reconnect.
DS still wakes quite regularly, but I think that is down to his personality rather than the fact I feed him to sleep.

DS is 18 months and is bf to sleep at bedtime every night. He sleeps through 12hrs at night and goes to bed fine without being bf for his day sleep.

My DS was always hard to settle without a feed to get him to sleep for day naps and night waking, so I just did it as he is a reflux baby and basically I have done whatever has worked. But interestingly in the last month or two he has stopped needing the feed to go to sleep and can settle happily in his cot without it as long as he is sleepy. I am also able to settle him in the night without a feed as long as he is not genuinely hungry. So it's kind of been a natural process of him deciding to stop himself, as has self settling- he has gradually worked into that over time... Ive done all these things to try get him to self settle/sleep throug hthe night etc over the months and in the end to be honest it has just been something he has done in his own time... so yeah I don't see it as being problematic unless it is causing big issues for you and it doesn't seem to be. If it does start doing that then you'll know it's time to try something else I guess but it may not.I wouldn't worry about it right now your bubba is still so little :) maybe at closer to a year if it's still happening and you think it needs to change but to each their own.

Yea I do love it, hes super snuggly and like you say CJ not too busy bein nosey at what dad is doin and so on.  I love snuggles with my wee boy and I know in a few years time I will want this time back again, I will stop stressing about it and just enjoy
