My baby is 9month old now. She needs to breastfeed to sleep every night. Am I creating a bad habit by allowing baby to breastfeed to sleep? She still will wake up 3-4times in the mid night to suck for comfort. Refuse hugging to sleep. What should I do?

disrupted sleep is unhealthy for babies as it is established that they grow/ develop when they sleep. consider the fact that babies beyond 6 months old do not need night feedings anymore and sleep is priority for their development. since we do not deprive our babies of food, why should we deprive them of proper sleep?
