POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy11 months agoA. To help your daughter sleep independently and reduce her reliance on breastfeeding to fall asleep, it's important to gradually encourage her to self-soothe. Start by establishing a consistent bedtime routine that includes calming activities, such as reading a book, dimming the lights, or gentle rocking, to signal that it’s time for sleep. You can begin to shorten the breastfeeding sessions or introduce a comfort item, like a soft blanket or stuffed animal, that she can associate with sleep. When she wakes up during the night, try to soothe her without breastfeeding immediately—patting her back or using a soft voice can help her feel secure. Gradually increase the time before offering breast milk, which may help her learn to fall back asleep on her own. Consistency is key, so be patient and gentle as she adjusts to this new routine, and remember that this process may take some time. If needed, consult a pediatrician or a child sleep specialist for tailored strategies to support her sleep transition.
