My 7mth old son like to suckle to sleep and still wakes up several times for comfort suckling. I've been putting up with these middle-of-the-night suckling sessions as it helped to maintain BM supply. But now I'm wondering if I should still entertain his night sucklings cos my colleagues have either kids who sleep through the night, or stopped BF. They look so relaxed and energized, and I'm looking perpetually tired. Part of me tells me to continue (to the extent that I've turned away overseas work trips to be around to nurse my son), while the other part of me envies these more-well-rests mummies.
Would my son sleep through on his own without me having to sleep train him? I've read books and sought advice from many parents and it seems quite unavoidable that sleep training would entail some crying or fussing in the middle of the night - something I'm a little mindful of as I don't want baby to wake the entire family up while I sleep train him..
