A. It's common for babies, even at 18 months, to fall asleep after breastfeeding because breastfeeding provides comfort and a natural soothing effect. However, if you're expecting your baby to sleep independently, here are a few tips to help them develop a better sleep routine: 1. Establish a Bedtime Routine: Create a calming bedtime routine, such as a warm bath, storytime, or gentle rocking, so that your baby associates these activities with sleep. 2. Encourage Self-Soothing: Gradually encourage your baby to fall asleep without breastfeeding by gently patting or reassuring them without picking them up. 3. Consistent Sleep Schedule: Try to put your baby to bed at the same time every night to help regulate their internal clock. 4. Avoid Overstimulation Before Bed: Keep the environment calm and quiet, avoiding any stimulating activities close to bedtime. It may take some time, but with patience and consistency, your baby can gradually learn to sleep independently.
