When did your CLWd child stop nursing to sleep? - Page 2

Between 2 and 3. Our last session to go will be the first thing in the morning one. Always been the one she's most attached to.

Nursing to sleep seems to be the most important nursing session for my kids and for me also... it is part of our nightly routine and it is nearly always reliable to get them to sleep...

DS#1 weaned at 5... at about 4 1/2 when #3 was born, he was down to nursing 1-2X a day... then he dropped the morning one and was down to just nursing to sleep... the he started to fall asleep by himself on the couch and nursing to sleep less and less often until he would go a week or two without nursing... then he just forgot how...

DS#2 will be 5 in Sept and is down to nursing to sleep most nights and nursing sometimes in the morning... he is starting to fall asleep on the couch also now so the pattern seems to be the same as DS#1...

Around the time he turned four. Now that it's in the past, I can't remember why I was so eager to drop nursing to sleep--it was such a sweet, intimate time! And now it's gone forever.

My son is 3.5 yrs. old and still is avid nurser in general and go to sleep. he will occasionally pop off and roll over to sleep at night and that started around 2.5 yrs. and he has phased in and out of that. So now i am helping it along recently by having milk and books on couch and then in bed just cuddles...not really practicing CLW anymore I guess.
