My toddler won’t sleep unless being breastfed as it is a comforting mechanism. What are some ways to train or get my kid to sleep without having to be breastfed while being put to bed?

#1 Establish a bedtime routine: Having a consistent bedtime routine helps your toddler know it’s time to sleep. This could include a warm bath, brushing teeth, a soothing story, and a cuddle. Keep the routine consistent and be sure to give your toddler lots of love and reassurance during this time.

#2 Give them a comfort item: Giving your toddler a favorite comfort item such as a stuffed animal or blanket can help them feel secure and comfortable when they are put to bed. This can help them fall asleep without needing to be breastfed.

#3 Avoid stimulating activities: Avoiding any stimulating activities such as active play, TV, or video games before bed can help your toddler get sleepy and ready for bedtime.

#4 Dim the lights: Dimming the lights in the room can help your toddler relax and feel ready for sleep.

#5 Avoid assigning blame: It’s important to avoid assigning blame to your toddler for not sleeping. Speak to them in a comforting and reassuring way when helping them fall asleep.
