I keep hearing and reading that I shouldn't let 4mo DD feed to sleep; my HV was especially forceful about this when she was still visiting (she stopped about 2 months ago). My first question is, why not? And the second, how could I stop her anyway?!
What tends to happen is that I feed her to sleep after her bath and put her in her cot (and then she wakes up after 20 minutes max, but that's another thread!), and then the same at about 11 pm (and she usually sleeps for several hours). She sometimes falls asleep after daytime feeds too, but more often doesn't - no consistency in it though!
