My nearly 8 month old still feeds to sleep (bedtime and naps) and will only contact nap unless in the pram. Please tell me I’m not the only one 😩 he absolutely will not nap anyway else, just scream
Youre not the only one!
My 8mth old girl was the exact same until about 6-1/2 mths.
What work for me was the 5-10-5 method. After she fell asleep on the boob id lay her down in the crib and give her a dummy. If she stated to cry id still walk out of the room wait for 5 minutes and then if she didn’t settle id go in and calm her with patting/rubbing her chest id try not to pick her up. Once settled id go out if she started id wait 10mins then go in and do the same then the next time 5 mins then 10 and 5.
It took us a month but now she self soothes and takes all her naps and bedtime in the crib.
Let me know how you go. It will get easier 🙂
