My 6 mths old boy is growing well, the only thing that makes me worried is his sleeping habit. He only nurse to sleep. Nothing can help him. He will wake up and cry whenever he finds his mouth has no nipple. Therefore he wakes up about 5 times which disrupts his sleep, this includes nap time as well. How do I change his sleeping behaviour? Pd recommends to give him water instead of bf as by now they should be able to STTN.

Teach him to fall asleep independently without your boobs. Like it or not he’s using your boobs to fall asleep and he thinks that’s the only way he can fall asleep. This is actually causing him to wake up often which is also bad because he’s not getting good quality sleep with the frequent wakings.
