Only wanting to feed when feeding to sleep

[pleasethanks]

Thought I might get more helpful responses on this forum.

So, I know feeding to sleep is, considered by some, to be a rather 'rod creating' thing to do, but frankly after 4 months of my DD NEVER napping unless in a moving pram, feeding to sleep for naps works sometimes, so here we are. But now, she really only wants to feed (FF) WHEN being put for a nap, she has no interest at any other time. Including when she gets up, after 12 hours with no food. So, she now feeding about 4 times a day (I manage to slip in a smallish feed before her bath if the wind is blowing in the right direction). Has any one else encountered anything like this?

Should have said, she is 5 months

I just wanted to say that I am experiencing a very similar situation with my 3mo. He wakes every 3 hours in the night for a feed and feeds well, but during the day he isn't so interested - feeds are short and he's often very distracted. I feel I have created the situation by feeding him to sleep, which is pretty much the only way to get him to sleep now!! Up until a couple of weeks ago he was sleeping better at night, but now he's waking regularly to be fed so I am even more disheartened knowing he has learnt to do this!

Yes, this me too and we were on EASY since 6 wks and she's now having none of it since about 3 months now 20 wks. I sit her up after a feed even if she's floppy and sleepy, I burp her, read her her bed/naptime book. She's now awake, I swaddle her, hum a song put her down in her cot awake soothing her in her cot if needed - to break the feed/sleep association which had developed and was leading to multiple NW which I could wear no more. It is starting to work after several days doing this.
