If you've stopped breastfeeding how do you get your little one to sleep?

Following, same here!

I stopped about a month ago when mine turned 18m (no reason for then other than we had a clear 2 weeks of no plans and my husband and I both being at home). I slowly reduced the time I’d feed for and stopped on one side completely first, then reduced the other side. I stopped feeding right before bed and made it the first step of the routine (for us it was boob-bath-PJs-book-bed). I also fed downstairs, then upstairs for bath etc, to try and make it less of a sleep association. I timed it and cut it down every couple of days until the last few feeds were literally 1 minute. I’d take her off and her dad would take her to entertain/distract her. It was so gradual, probably over around 3-4 weeks from when I decided I was ready to stop to the last feed. The first 2-3 nights after I stopped she would ask for milk but we’d just distract her with toys or books and after a few days she’d forgotten all about it

We do bath-boob if she asks for 2 mins- sometimes reading books and sometimes straight to being carried with her head on the shoulder. When she is asleep we put her down, sometimes she wakes up straight away and we need to repeat last steps. It gets better every day. We needed more time originally while now taking her up/carring and putting to sleep can take 4-10 minutes all together

But yes, first thing was to feed her outside of the bed and let her fall asleep in our hands. Some kids can fall asleep at this age reading books, depending on the temperament, ours is not there yet.
