This is what the paediatrician said to me today - I replied that we're co-sleeping so night feeds are not so bad anyway but it did get me thinking if it's possible to have a baby who falls asleep breastfeeding and yet sleeps really well? DD falls asleep at the breast and then wakes up a couple of times a night and is sometimes settled by DH but sometimes needs a feed - no big deal really - she was one today . So tell me about your breastfed babies - does anyone have that magical little one who falls asleep feeding and then sleeps through? is it possible? For the record I'm not sure I know how to get DD to not fall asleep feeding - she has always from day one had this habit of falling into a deep sleep the second she latches on - I have tried the NCSS 'gentle removal technique' and it just hasn't worked for us. I just accept that she likes to fall asleep snuggled on really, I was just interested to know if I'm the only one!
