LOL I was still doing this until DS was about 18 months! DH could rock DS to sleep in the rocking chair but if it was Mummy putting him to bed DS would want the breast.

We also took the "whatever works" approach.

A couple of factors came into play to stop it in the end...we cut out DS' nap at 18 months because he wasn't going to bed till after 10pm. I got pregnant with Number Two and my breasts became far more sensitive and breastfeeding was not nearly so enjoyable anymore. So because DS was much more tired in the early evening it was easy to settle him off to sleep without the breastfeed.

He was still waking up at night though...so we put him in a big boy's bed with a pillow just to see what happened and he finally started sleeping through. And that was it for the breastfeeding. Now when he wakes up we just bring him into bed with us with his pillow and he snuggles down between us. He would still want a breastfeed at first when he knew I was there but I would just gently say "no" and he would sook for a little bit but would go back to sleep with a cuddle.
