Hi,

Doesn't everyone feed their baby to sleep? It really just makes so much sense. When babies suck they release a hormone called CCK (for short) It makes them sleepy. And as they suckle, mums get a burst of the same hormone, making us feel sleepy.
Mums breastfeeding older babies know they have the natural advantage - a few sucks and baby is out for the count. Beats all that rocking, patting and pacing.....
