Nearly every feed with DD I fed her to sleep. Everyone said I had to put her to sleep awake and let her self settle.....to me if she was asleep she was asleep and I wasn't waking her!
I got told how I am going to pay for it later and I will need to be up putting her to sleep all the time....
Anyhow as she got closer to a year old nothing had changed she still slept brilliantly. Sometimes she would be awake at the end of the feed and Id put her down and off to sleep she would go.
It never made a difference to her sleep if I fed her to sleep or let her go to sleep on her own....

My opinion is you do whatever you need to do to get to sleep.....maybe in the future you have to change paths but maybe you wont....My DD is now 3 and have basically never had a problem with her sleeping or putting her down to sleep unless she was sick.....
