I’m an EP mum, occasionally if I’m too tired at night I’ll let baby latch on. Sometimes she does look for the boob (on my husband’s lol 😂) then I’ll either offer her the pacifier or boob (if I haven’t pump). It really depends on your baby.. I wouldn’t say it’s a bad habit, they will eventually wean off. But if you’re about to head back to work soon then I’ll advise you to nurse once or twice for bonding and the rest bottke feed. If your baby is tired, actually after a few pats or shake they’ll be asleep already. For my LO, if I see that she’s rubbing her eyes or showing tired cues, I’ll put her on her bed and start patting. Don’t overtire the baby that he/she starts screaming or crying because they want to sleep. Definitely not the more they stay awake = the longer they sleep.

Thank you for the advice. Good that my LO is used to bottle feeding and I bf her at least once a day. Yea, an overtire baby will be fussier and it’s going to be even harder to settle them down.
