I ran into an issue at about the 6 month mark though and for me, the feed to sleep/co-sleeping feeding was creating an issue. DD developed a breast/sleep association where she lost the ability to self settle and needed a breast in her mouth to go to/go back to sleep. She began to wake every sleep cycle looking for a breast in her mouth and would cry. When I fed her, she would suck for a few minutes and then fall asleep again or wriggle/feed/wriggle for ages. After a month or two dealing with this she was waking up to every 1/2 hour some nights - so every sleep cycle. I was at my wits end so I had to work at breaking the habit as we were both a mess and miserable.
THIS is exactly my DD atm and has been for a loooooong time , i just cant break the cycle !!! its dirving me bonkers !!


BUT i really have not troubles to feeding them to sleep ... dont feel guilty about it .. .

my dd is young and if i dont do what i feel i always think "you'll never get this moment back".. i just give her a massive snuggle while feeding her to sleep .. and the rythmic sounds of her sucking are soothing to me aswell !!!
