Isn't it great when the breastfeed becomes about food again and not the sourse to get to sleep??!! I love it, i love looking down at her little face and seeing her little eyes look back at me or to be focused somewhere else but her little body still quite intently wanting to be with me.
I initially started feeding to sleep when she was about 5ish months i think when she just became way too distracted to feed out in the lounge room amongst the goings on of the boys. So we started going to her room, pulling down the blinds and feeding to sleep, it worked and it was lovely. But those many months later when i wanted to change things i did try and go to a quieter place (but not in a darkened room) and not necessarily at sleep time.
And woo hoo the breastfeed did become about food again!! Some feeds she'll relax really well and i can feel that she has a good feed, others she is a little trickier to get to relax and on days like this i just repeatedly put her back on 2 or 3 times to make sure she's really had enough. She'll have a few more sucks each time and then i figure all should be good.
Enjoy your sleeps and feeds for many many more nigths to come xXHopeXx oxox
