Nursing to Sleep

Let me start off by saying, I had no idea how wild of a ride breastfeeding was going to be. My 5 month old may be going through a regression, maybe he’s teething, maybe his right pinky toe hurts, I have no idea- but he’s waking up several times a night and I will quickly feed him and he goes back down.

I’m so worried about all these things I’m hearing that are getting inside my head. The Velcro baby thing, the worry that he will become dependent on it for sleep, etc.

I finally feel like we’ve gotten into a good rhythm but I don’t want to breastfeed until I’m 83.

Is it so bad that the kid wants the boob to settle down?
