When to stop feeding to sleep

[Yllasmik]

Hi all,

I have a 4 month old that currently feeds to sleep. Im starting to think about when to start trying to break the habit and how.

Hes going through the 4 month sleep regression/fussy phase so i dont want to start anything now ideally, but im aware that in 2 months time ill be thinking about moving him to his own room, and would implementing the two things at the same time be too much for him?

Any advice is much appreciated.

Unless it’s really bothering you or you have a specific need to stop I really wouldn’t worry about it. Both mine just stopped by themselves, DC1 when I switched to formula at about 8 months and DC2 from about 10 months with naps and 14 months at bedtime.

He'll break it for you. My son coslept so fed whenever he wanted in the night. By about 2-3 months he only woke once in the night, which was great. But come 6 months teething was so awful it was multiple times- I gave up counting! It was ok as we coslept so I didn't have to completely get up to feed him he just fed as and when during the night and I didn't really have to move but it was still exhausting. I guess you could try to stop feeding to sleep and see what happens but be open to the fact that it can get them off to sleep quickly and they still do need feeding through the night. My son by a year was sleeping through in our bed and that's when we put him into his own bed. I still got in with him and fed him to sleep but he would sleep through! What I'm saying is all babies are different so anything is worth a try but generally they decide!

My experience. I wish I sleep trained at that age instead of 9 months and I wish I stopped breastfeeding st 6 months not 9.

Still feeding to sleep at 9 months OP. I don't have the answer lol
