[quote=Anonymous]I nursed on demand, but nursed my kids to sleep until they were about 9 months old (that's when they started not being put to sleep by the milk and transitioned to being put down drowsy but awake). My kids were and are excellent sleepers. I actually think nursing to sleep made them even better sleepers because I was so consistent with putting them to bed on time and with a routine. I'm sorry your kids were bad sleepers, but I don't think nursing to sleep was the cause. Some things I did that I thought helped sleep: Super consistent with the times I put them to sleep, I let them fuss for 5 min or so before getting them and often they went back to sleep. We did a weisbluth style (I think?!) sleep training at around 6 months where I patted their bellies and went back in every 5 and then every 15 min. No bad crying or anything, they just learned that there's no nursing in the middle of the night. [/quote]
