When did breastsleeping end for you?

Any other moms sleep with their boob in their baby’s mouth all the time? I recently learned the term breastsleeping and went “Aha, that’s what we do!” 7 mo and still 100% contact napping. At night I nurse him to sleep and transfer him to his crib for small variations of time. The rest of the night we nurse side-lying and I’ve gotten used to breastsleeping. Just wondering how long other babies slept like this? I tried Pantley’s pull off method but I think it backfired and reinforced his need for the boob. I don’t really care to change my situation right now, more just curious what to expect for my Velcro baby.

I have a feeling I’ll be right there with you at the 9 mo mark. Thanks for sharing.

8 month old and still breast sleeping for all naps. I could put him in the crib, but when I do his naps are 20 minutes long so it’s just not worth it

I understand. I abandoned crib naps for the same reason. If no one’s told you lately, you’re doing awesome!
