    I wanted to feed ds til he slept but gave up on that idea because it only worked for 2 mths. Since then he has his whole feed and then sits around waiting to play or put in his cot. I loved the snuggly baby who had just fallen off the booby...... memories

    I feed both my kids to sleep until about 12 month and then we started using the elizabeth pantly pull off method. If you red her book no cry sleep solution it's in there but basically you just wait until they are almost asleep, pop your finger in to break the suction and take them off, see if they settle, if not put them back on and try again. It takes about 3 wks of consistantly doing it until my kids would go off without boobie but it's a nice gentle way to easing them off.

    All the best with it. BTW don't feel you need to stop it unless YOU want to - it's a beautifula dn natural way to go to sleep

    We feed to sleep every night and during the day unless we are out and he has a feed is put in pram awake and falls asleep (sometimes feeds to sleep and transfered to pram). Our problem is he cant be transfered to cot asleep in day he naps on my knee which doesnt phase me but i get all the comments of rod for own back etc.

    Good luck you are doing a great job
