Mo2b - My DD used to always need the breast to get to sleep, but over time she began to come off and settle without it. Some days she will still fall asleep at the breast, but she doesn't need it now.

The No Cry Sleep Solutions has some ideas on slowly moving from boob only settling to other methods. If you are continuing to breastfeed though, i would stick with feeding to sleep if it works, cos rocking etc sucks compared to feeding to sleep.

The last few days in the morning after i feed DD, she has come off the breast and then given me a kiss on the cheek. It is so cute, kind of like a 'thanks, Mum'. Tonight, she had a feed, and then gave my chest a quick kiss when she was finished. It makes me wonder though if one day she will just kiss and no feed. I am 7 months pregnant now, and not really sure what is happening with my milk, i know there is still something there but not sure if it changing to colustrum yet.
