how's it going now chicken? was it a phase or are you still battling through?

my DS stopped feeding to sleep a couple of months ago - well, he stopped always feeding to sleep so i decided to gently break the habit completely because i'd rather keep things consistent for him & it was making all sleeps a bit of a nightmare. i pretty much followed the pantley pull-off method (pinky mckay also has a similar method). DS sleeps on a mattress on the floor of his room & i've found lying next to him & patting & cuddling (or sometimes just being there) gets him off to sleep. i've never had any luck trying to do this in his cot, but having the mattress on the floor works a treat. now he naps far more consistently.
