We nursed to sleep from the start and broke the habit between 3.5 to 4 months. BUT, I know you have supply issues, and I think the long extended nursing might help tell your body to make more. I don't know that for a fact, but it makes sense in my head so I'm going with it So, I say why not, as long as she isn't getting to the point that she needs it to fall asleep.

I started it a few weeks ago (maybe at 15 weeks?). I don't do it for every nap/night and half the time she wakes up anyways, so I'm not too worried.

We started nursing to sleep at 6-7 months when Miss A hit a perfect storm of crawling, wonder week and teething and we're still nursing to sleep at fifteen months CIO isn't a goer for my wee girl and nursing to sleep has been a lifesaver!

I do just want to throw it out there that if nursing to sleep is working for you then ignore anybody who tells you it's a bad habit!!

@daniellemybelle: he never did when he was little, but did off and on between 8-12 months when his nap schedule changed and aligned with nursing. It's never been an issue, and we just weaned our last mid-day session without a peep or protest. If it works, do it until it doesn't work.

I started around two or three months and stopped when we sleep trained at 7 mos. I did what I had to do to get him down without hours of rocking and shushing. No regrets here.

We nursed to sleep for all naps until one week ago (DD is 8.5 months). It's developmentally very normal. I told myself I would do it until if/when it became a problem. It started to become a problem (DD was waking up 10-20 minutes after I put her down asleep). We stopped cold turkey last week and it was an incredibly easy transition. I probably wouldn't stress about it at the moment if I were you

Sure, why not? It would help with your supply too! I nursed both of my boys to sleep until I weaned them (8 months and 14 months) and they were EBF. I wasn't a huge milk producer with both of them b/c I was never able to pump more after each session but always had enough to keep them happy. I sleep trained both around 6 months and since they already knew how to self soothe so neither of them had any trouble when I weaned them.
