Transition from Nursing to sleep
Show your support
Same situation! Baby doesn’t take dummy and not really interested in the bottle except as a toy. I’ve been trying to stop the nursing to sleep and I’m currently taking her off the boob once she’s asleep, she usually then wakes up and is frantically searching for it, but still kinda asleep. I just rock her for a bit like that to get her back to sleep. It’s working for now, but next step will be rocking before she falls asleep but we are not there yet…
Still nursing to sleep at night but we can manage it for naps with white noise, a dark room, hand on her chest for comfort and absolutely no eye contact 😂 three wishes and a genie if needed!
I have been slowly trying this with some success: I feed my LG 30mins or just before bed time routine. Get father to bop her to sleep, and transfer. This only happens for evening but it's one way to disassociate from always fed to sleep I think?
In the same boat here 🙋🏻♀️ My LB rejected the dummy as well. I have moved to the bottle but hit and miss, I have been trying swaying and shushing (takes forever to work) after he finishes the bottle as he is still awake. Only started yesterday so not sure how it’ll go tonight. Would love any further advice too!
