Unfortunately, she's only done it a handful of times in the last 19 months and I am having one of those days where I am not sure she'll *ever* fall asleep without needing me to nurse her. Truly, she might just need me to go with her to college :-). These night nursers will someday go to sleep on their own and perhaps sleep a good stretch all in a row, right?!

I always follow up, and 95% of the time my kids are asleep already. :) That’s wonderful that it’s working for you — I have often done the same thing, saying I need to do something and that I’ll be right back.

My 2.5 year old is just learning to sleep without nursing. Now I've been waiting until she is very very sleepy and then I latch her off and tell her that I have to use the Potty. By the time I get back, she is sound asleep! yay! My 2.5 year old is just learning to sleep without nursing.

Hooray for an easy bedtime! I hope that there are many more to follow. :) You really have to take the small victories as they come in parenting. Hooray for an easy bedtime!

Now she nurses to settle down, but rarely to sleep. She will put herself to sleep sometimes, but there's nothing I love as much as her snuggling against my chest and falling asleep there. Only problem is it's hard to put her down after that!! I could stay there forever. Jessie My baby nursed to sleep for a good while. Now she nurses to settle down, but rarely to sleep.
