Stopping the bedtime feed (Feeding to sleep)

[goddessofdawn]

Oh thanks!

It works some nights, but other nights she is too 'awake' to settle down....
i.e. no crying, but is more interested in looking around and smiling sweetly at me in the dark
which is preferable to her earlier performances I guess!

So I just keep her on my lap and sing to her, and eventually she lets me know she is ready to feed.

Now she's started waking up earlier to start her day (and my day).... So there's always a new issue to keep me on my toes!

Another possibility is that she's ready to stop feeding to sleep. You could try feeding her, then goign to the bedroom and cuddling/singing whatever.
Just a thought.

Thanks Marcellus. Yeah, maybe she is. Whenever I've attempted to put her in her cot awake, she cracks it, so I've never thought she'd be ready anytime soon. We'll see.
