My daughter is 8 months old. How can I gently encourage my daughter to fall a asleep without breastfeeding and without crying? first six months I did only breastfeeding and after that I start liquid food.

It is important to set a routine for bedtime so that she will know when is the time to sleep. When it is time for bed, I will bring baby into the room to wash up and change into his pajamas then I will off the lights and on baby songs for him. To which he will whine for me to off it when he wants to sleep. It will be easier for baby to nurse to sleep as it will keep them "fuller" and they can sleep longer before the next feed. Most breastfed babies nurse to sleep, it gives them more assurance. Is there any reason why you do not want to nurse baby to sleep?
