Or not??
not sure whether this should be here, or sleeping or parenting, but hoping for some answers please!
My 5 month old hardly ever falls asleep breastfeeding (she did in the early weeks not anymore). I wear her in the sling most of the day as she didn't like the buggy, so she is used to falling asleep in the sling during the day.
In the evening she wants to go in the sling to sleep too, even though she is tired I just can't make her sleep by breastfeeding. Sometimes she does fall asleep but wakes up after a few minutes, and only the sling will make her fall asleep.
My DH wears her in the evening cos I'm tired from wearing her during the day. Although he doesn't mind it, it does get in the way of chores, and he says that he can't really relax while wearing her (and I understand as it's like that for me during the day), so it's becoming a bit of a problem now.
Is this normal? SHould we be trying harder to get her to sleep independantly?
We have a 2yr old too, and he was just fed to sleep and put in his cot, no problems, so not sure why DD is like this?
otherwise she is happy, settled, sleeps well at night (we co-sleep), hardly ever cries (prob cos she is being carried all the time!), so it's not a big deal wearing her in the sling in the evening, but would like to know if she will ever grow out of this?!
