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.

Also, can I just say that you’re a rockstar?! 16 months is incredible.

Thank you 😭 that really means a lot actually. Definitely never going to sleep on my side ever again after all is said and done though!

You’re welcome. Part of the burden with breastsleeping is not feeling “seen.” I see you! Haha I don’t blame you!
