DD (who is almost 11months) has been fed to sleep for quite some time. This has worked for us as once she got to a certain age with two noisey boys around she would be way too distracted to feed any other way. As i am the one who puts her to bed majority of the time this is mostly ok but it's starting to create some issues.

If i happen to be out and DH at home with the kids if he has to put DD down for a sleep she screams the house down. The sleep just does not happen.

If we wanted to go out for an evening we can settle DD beforehand but if she wakes i know whoever she is with will have no hope of getting her back to sleep.

She has never accepted a bottle or a dummy.

How can i change this? I want to start changing the feed to sleep pattern but have no idea how to get her to relax and feed any other way. I know when she is protesting it is only because this is all she knows but i really would love for her to be a little more flexible.

She still wakes 2-3 times a night (i don't think we've ever had a 'sleep though'). The only way to get her back to sleep is by me feeding her. I would love to attempt some night settling without a feed because i'm getting a little tired but really can not handle the performance she puts on.

I really want to change some things but i'm not sure where to begin.

Any help???
