If you always bf to sleep what did you do with naps when you stopped ?

[ohhmygosh]

I have an older DS and I didn't stop feeding him until age 2, so that's when he dropped his naps apart from in the car. For bed we just cuddled in his bed until he was asleep, but his understanding was very good, so I told him I was stopping.

I now have a 14 month old DD that still fees to sleep and a lot all day long and I'm considering stopping feeding, but I don't want to make my life hard. She falls asleep on me.

Mine was around 16 months. At that age, he had naps at nursery, so they had some magic way to get him to sleep as I wasn't around anyway. For naps at home, we were never at home anyway, so he just slept in the car on the way or on the way back or on a walk. There was always somewhere we were going so he was used to sleeping in the car or in pushchair. Or if not, I would just make up a reason to go somewhere so he'd get a quick nap in. It was really quite a smooth transition. He had never even had a bottle of EBF, but transitioned to a cup of milk before bed really easily. It was so much easier than I'd expected.

Mine had a blanket/Teddy thing that he was attached to. He stopped bf of his own accord around 15 months and would chew or suck the blanket instead.

I stopped feeding to sleep before I stopped breastfeeding as it stopped working and would take way too long. We changed to tapping her back and singing to get her to sleep and then eventually from that to her going to sleep alone. She didn't like it much at first but one of us was always right next to her offering comfort, and a cuddle if she got properly upset. We went from that to going to sleep alone really slowly though so she was never upset on her own.
