Sleep

My baby uses the breast like a pacifier to fall asleep. How do I stop this?

Common issue—moms rely on side-lying feeding, pacifiers, or slowly breaking the association with alternative soothing methods.

Side-lying feeding helps both mom and baby rest, though it isn’t a long-term solution.

Some moms use a pacifier only for sleep. If it's clean and sterilized, it can help break the association.

Try offering comfort through rocking or patting, though it takes patience.
