I think Allycat and I are at the opposite end of the spectrum - it's been forever since we nursed DS to sleep.

DS used to fall asleep on the booby basically every feed, and we'd have to undress him, tickle his feet, do a nappy change between breasts, tickle his ears, blow on his face, etc, just to keep him awake long enough to have his full feed!

then when he hit about 6 weeks (not sure exactly when ... some time between 4 and 9 weeks) he just stopped falling asleep on the breast, and I don't think he's done it a single time since ... I miss that "milk drunk" look, and the increasingly warm little parcel falling asleep in my arms with the tiny dribble of milk coming out the side, but he just became more interested in looking and interacting, and so I guess he made the decision himself!

our bedtime routine is now normally that I get home (DH and DS pick me up at the station), I carry DS inside, we have a bath, I feed him (sometimes a little slurp in the bath, but normally just a proper feed once we're out) and read him a story, and then he goes to bed.

He sometimes takes a few minutes to self settle, but the longest it's ever been is 4 or 5 minutes.

We have some CDs we're happy to have playing as he goes to sleep, and we put one on, say goodnight, give him a little pat, goodnight kisses, and then pop the light off.

Oh, and sometimes if he's a little unsettled earlier in the routine, we do a massage between the bath and the feed. But we keep playtime really minimal in the evenings, and I see the whole routine being a settling method - he knows what is coming next, and the whole process is quite soothing.
