At almost 19 months I still feed DD to sleep. She won't have it any other way. I'm ok with that, except that I won't always be available to her. If she goes to her when she wakes at night she flips out, turns herself inside out, cries, points to the door and the rocking chair and calls for mama.

The problem is, on Monday I had to make an emergency dash to the city an hour away to see my sick Papa and didn't hget home til just before 10. She was still up! All attempts by DH to get her to sleep were resisted. I fed her and she was zonked in minutes.

Soon I need to spend one or two nights in Melbourne for work. What the heck are they gonna do?? He can't her to sleep, and even if he does, it'll be a nightmare when she wakes.

So whilst I know it's normal for her to feed to sleep and I'm happy to do it, when these situations come up I wish she'd been able to find a way to go to sleep for DH too.
