My 6 month old DD self settles at night and sometimes for naps. I can put her down for a nap and she will warble away for ages (sometimes 40 mins or more) before she will finally fall asleep - it is just warbling though, she is not distressed. Sometimes though, I go in and sssh/pat (well variation of it, I just place my hand on her tummy and ssssh) until she falls asleep. Sometimes it only takes a few minutes. I used to feed her to sleep, but that has not been working, so for past 3 weeks have been doing this.
I am slightly concerned that she is maybe becoming reliant on this to fall asleep....should I just stick with it and be very glad that it works, or should I try and wean her of it? Any advice as to how to do that would be gratefully received.
