Even if she's dead tired, she'll fight it. Sucks because that used to be my backup if she refused to nap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-nursing-to-sleep-work-for-your-baby#post-2131269 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 18:54:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 2131269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It did for a looooonnnnngggg time. She actually fell asleep nursing for the very last time this weekend and I just let her stay for a little while since I knew she was about to wean. And took selfies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-nursing-to-sleep-work-for-your-baby#post-2131190 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 18:15:24 +0000 namaste 2131190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe 25% of the time. Otherwise, nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-nursing-to-sleep-work-for-your-baby#post-2131174 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 18:08:48 +0000 Peasinapod 2131174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it used to put het to sleep no matter what. But now if she's not tired she won't fall asleep. But anywhere near a nap or bedtime it knocks her out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-nursing-to-sleep-work-for-your-baby#post-2131147 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 17:45:11 +0000 mrsjyw 2131147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Worked for DS1, but only before bedtime </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-nursing-to-sleep-work-for-your-baby#post-2131146 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 17:42:09 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2131146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. It did for my first, but DD2 gets annoyed when she's trying to sleep but milk comes out. She'd rather have a pacifier. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-nursing-to-sleep-work-for-your-baby#post-2131143 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 17:36:12 +0000 Meridian 2131143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bottle feed, but if timed correctly, he will fall asleep to the bottle for the first nap of the day and bedtime. But we're trying to avoid bottle feeding to sleep at bedtime so that he learns to fall asleep himself. He's 23 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-nursing-to-sleep-work-for-your-baby#post-2131141 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 17:33:50 +0000 Kemma 2131141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, nursing to sleep was a lifesaver for a long time in our house and I still nurse Miss A (2.5) down for her nap (and then I nap with her!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-nursing-to-sleep-work-for-your-baby#post-2131071 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 16:18:11 +0000 Tidybee 2131071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>allll the time...even at 14 months....which is why we had to majorly sleep train once she weaned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-nursing-to-sleep-work-for-your-baby#post-2131062 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 16:08:07 +0000 miramira 2131062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only in the middle of the night. It stopped working during the day when he was about 2 months old &amp; much more interested in the world around him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-nursing-to-sleep-work-for-your-baby#post-2131061 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 16:06:20 +0000 FaithFertility 2131061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I must have sleepy dust in my supply she falls asleep often </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-nursing-to-sleep-work-for-your-baby#post-2131059 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 16:00:43 +0000 PurplePeony 2131059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. She actually fell asleep nursing the other night for the first time in a long time (we brush teeth and do story time between nursing and bed now, but I guess she was really tired) and it melted my heart. It's also the only thing that works to get her back to sleep in the MOTN. We don't nurse for naps anymore, but that used to work, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-nursing-to-sleep-work-for-your-baby#post-2131031 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 15:40:57 +0000 Pirouette 2131031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes it always did. she doesn't fall asleep nursing anymore, but it still calms her and puts her in the mood for sleeping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-nursing-to-sleep-work-for-your-baby#post-2131023 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 15:36:43 +0000 theotherstark 2131023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: solidarity, sister :shocked: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-nursing-to-sleep-work-for-your-baby#post-2131021 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 15:34:15 +0000 twodoghouse 2131021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's pretty much the only way I can get them to sleep right now. We've hit another bad sleep spot. :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-nursing-to-sleep-work-for-your-baby#post-2131018 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 15:32:19 +0000 snowjewelz 2131018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes only for night and early morning tho!

He always wakes up after so it's not worth it! Unless bed time :) </p>
