Baby is 6mnths and pretty much feeds to sleep or very sleepy every night and sometimes for naps too. I EBF so it’s never a bottle.
Are others still doing this?

Yes we are still giving a bottle to feed to sleep. It's her last bottle of the day and she's sleeping between 8 and 9 hours before waking for a bottle. If it works it works. There is nothing wrong with feeding to sleep

Same here! I EBF too

I EBF and most of the time she always feeds to sleep unless she decides she doesn’t want a nap which is rare

Yep ebf too and she feeds to sleep both at night and for naps.
Ok thank you!
It’s just one of those things that I guess society makes you feel like you should start to stop doing when they aren’t newborn or you’ll be doing it forever!

I do this too. It benefits both of us so I ignore what society thinks. If it becomes a problem then I will consider making a change

Yes I am, my little one won’t go to sleep without a bottle xx

Same for me, co sleeping also which seems to be another taboo but we will continue until we both feel ready to move to cot. I think if it works for you then that’s is what is right as long as it’s safe 🥰

I EBF too and yes always feed to sleep, I’ve been told by HV there’s nothing wrong with doing it either and to ignore what others say☺️

Honestly don’t listen to what anyone says if they are against it, it’s your baby and you do what you like. I’ll be doing it until she no longer wants to, they aren’t little forever so I’m just cherishing it while I can ❤️
You’ve all made me feel so much better - thank you.
Xx

We are co sleeping and nursing to sleep. Our little one wakes up a lot during the night, but falls back to sleep after she had her milk.
They won’t be this little forever and what a blessing to see them grow!

We feed to sleep here too! 🙋♀️

Yup! I feed her to sleep at night. Or feed to drowsy I guess. She’s drowsy when I put her in the crib after burping. I like giving her her feed right before because I want her to last through the night being satiated. She will wake between 4:30-5:30 am for a feed and then go back down till 7:30

Yes!! And I will keep doing it until she doesn’t need or want to 🫶🏼
