    Out of my mind. Back in five minutes...

    I feed to sleep, and I even transitioned from the breast to the bottle, and still feed to sleep. DS was a terrible sleeper, and I knew I could get him to sleep with a full tummy, and a good feed, so I went with it. I say, if it works, then go with it.

    I BF Oskar to sleep for most of his sleeps until he was 19 months. I only stopped cos it was hurting too much being pg and BFing. I went out one night for dinner with some girls and DH did manage to finally get him to sleep but he woke when I got home (somehow he knew!) and had some boobie and went to sleep again. The first week of no boobie to sleep was a little rough but after he became used to cuddles instead then transitioned to patting (and as Barb said OMG BFing was soooo much quicker...lol) then laying next to him we FINALLY got to him being able to be put into his cot and going to sleep on his own. It's certainly easier to feed and gives you a reason to sit and relax too
