For those who fed their bubs to sleep...

[Jennifer13]

Well, I bf DD at night time until she was 3 1/2. If she was tired enough, she would sometimes still bf to sleep at that age! It was bliss - the rigmarole getting her into bed when she didn't feed to sleep was sooooo much more difficult than a quick set down when she was already asleep.

She regularly bf to sleep until about 18 mths at night time. She was only on two feeds a day at that age. When she stopped she'd muck around a bit and we would go and settle her in bed. Story time came after bfing at this stage. Never had any trouble transitioning to not bfing to sleep, she just picked her time herself. Unless she was super tired and she'd crash on me. BTW I really loved it when she did it afterwards, felt like I still had that special bond and watching her sleep on me... awww... *sigh* She would also go back to sleep after her morning bf up until four. Which is partly the reason we kept going - I don't like being dragged out of bed at 6am - much preferred us both going to sleep!

I can guarantee DP preferred it when she bf to sleep.

As a baby she stopped bfing to sleep at every feed at about 6 weeks, but she'd still do it for her early morning bf, her nap time bf and her night time bf.
