My son is 7ms and he insists on beening brest feed every time he wants to sleep. I have tried putting him in the swing or cradle but he just starts crying or playing. His sleeping pattern is also very irregular. Meera Bharati replied. My daughter, who is now 6 months old, had the same habit . But as I had to go for job..we gave her bottle of milk keeping her head on one side and gave her practice of sucking the milk from the bottle. she got used to it in a week's time. But never give him empty bottle or just the nipple, as there are chances that air will go in his stomach.I used the imported bottle which comes with a cap inside which does not allow the extra air to go inside the stomach.

All the best.



All the best. dilshad replied. Hi,
My son who is now 9 mths old also had the same problem.but as i had to resume wk when he was 6 mths old , i had to make him develop the habit of sleeping without me.
just try to keep him in a cradle and talk to him or sing to him.
he'll just not sleep right away but gradually he will.
dont pick him up if he cries and give in to his screams.slowly he 'll adjust.
give him something to chew on in the cradle that 'll keep him busy but keep an eye on him and remember to take it out of his mouth after he sleeps.
i used to give my son carrot cause he loves it.

i hope this helps.
