@linka81 I breastfed until 13mo and co-slept until about 7ish months. While we co-slept she nursed 4-5times a night even when we started solids. The nursing sessions were shorter.
But she started being rrstless in bed with me, wanting to stay up and play rather than sleep. So I tried moving her to her crib (note naps were mostly in the crib since about 4mo, it just magically happened for us as she was an exclusive contact napper up until then and has recently become a contact napper again)
I’d nurse to sleep, put her to bed and she’d wake up around 1-2AM for one good long feed at which point we’d co-sleep again and she’d wake up again around 5AM for another good feed and sleep until 7-8AM after
A couple of weeks after this she stopped falling asleep after the first night feed in bed with me so I’d nurse to sleep in her room and put her back in the crib where she’d sleep until 6ish and be ready to start the day. I was fine with starting the day early because I was much better rested.
It was gradual for us and totally led by her. She slept so much better without me. As much as I thought she’d need comfort, unless she is sick or in a new environment, she sleeps better alone and prefers it
Around 11mo when she started daycare she started STTN and did not wake up for a night feed anymore. Was still nursed to sleep for naps and bedtime, but my supply decreased considerably after daycare started and she lost interest by 13mo.
