Hi all, my 8 month-old son has always been fed to sleep at night (putting him down when anything other than fast asleep has never worked) and fed back to sleep when he wakes up at night. I put him to sleep in other ways during the day (buggy, sling etc.), but at night he’s very dependent on me and we’d like his dad to be able to put him to bed and settle him. He’s been sleeping in a pod because our bed’s too high for a sidecar crib, but hasn’t really objected to being in a cot when one’s been available, maybe because he’s used to having his own space. The issue just seems to be that he thinks nightsleeping = boobs! If you’ve had this issue, how did you solve it? Recently I’ve started a fairly strict bath-PJs-story routine at the same time every night, but there comes a point when he just wants to furiously suck. (He’s never liked dummies). Thanks!!
