My 6 month old baby is EBF. When she was very small, she would feed to sleep, but stopped at around 10 weeks; now instead she just pulls of when she's had enough, always wide awake. oddly though, she still feeds to sleep overnight, just not for day/bedtime. We've been to hell and back with her screaming and crying at naps, bedtime etc. as she wouldn't rock to sleep either, so we've had to go through shhing, tummy rubs, face stroking, ANYTHING to get her to settle. Thankfully, it's paid off and she now self settles, but it's been a tough ride.
I'm curious however, as i've not met another breastfed baby who doesn't feed to sleep; I've always been so jealous of friend's babies peacefully dropping off in arms, or feeding to sleep at night with no tears.
Has this happened to anyone else, or does anyone have any idea why?! She feeds every hour and a half or so, and is gaining weight great, so it don't think it's that she's hungry.
Really interested to hear from others on this, as couldn't seem to find anything on Google either
thanks in advance!
