Feeding to sleep - is 7 weeks too early to try and break habits?

I think go with your gut and research what you think might work for you. We still try and feed to sleep at 11 weeks old but I don't see it as a bad habit as it has just worked for us and works great on the night. I just see it as him being nice and full/relaxed ready for a good sleep. I have thought "how am I ever going to have a night away eventually!" so definitely not delusional for thinking about it.

My little boy has naturally not been consistently feeding to sleep over the last week so if I think he's full and is ready for sleep but hasn't fallen asleep on the breast, I'll use his dummy to get him to sleep. Thankfully he doesn't wake when it falls out. We're going to try my husband bottle feeding expressed breast milk to see if he'll fall asleep on the bottle or with the dummy for my husband as we've still not tried that yet 🙈 Babies that young can't self soothe so it's only natural that we somehow soothe to sleep but I know some babies can fall asleep when drowsy, just not mine 🙈 x

Your baby is still so tiny, personally I’d not be fussed about my baby still feeding to sleep, however it’s whatever works for you! I also think it just depends on the temperament of your baby. My son is currently 6 weeks and I can put him down drowsy for nighttime sleep and he’ll nod off himself, I could do the same with my daughter at this age. However I then stopped being able to as she got a little older, then was able to again after another month or so. My point being, sleep is absolutely not linear for little ones, hence why I wouldn’t worry if they can drift off to sleep on their own at this small age. Things chop and change so regularly with their sleep that if not feeding to sleep doesn’t work for your baby at this age, it isn’t to say it won’t work in a few weeks/months. Also I wouldn’t call feeding to sleep a bad habit at all - it’s perfectly normal for many babies, so don’t worry! Go with what works for your baby and you 😊☺️
