Nursing moms- Help! How do I break this bad habit??

Ben still nurses to go to sleep!  He has ALWAYS fallen asleep while nursing, since day 1 in the hospital.  I don't know how we'll break it!!  I know I have to though or he will never learn how to sleep without me and I plan on weaning at 1 yr.  I nursed him before his nap today and purposely put him down and made some noise in his room by cleaning up a bit.  He woke up and after a minute started to cry.  So I told him I loved him and to have a good nap.  I closed the door and he only cried for 2 minutes before he was out! 

I don't plan on getting hardcore with the sleep training or even attempting to break the nursing habit until we get home- the traveling and such confuses him a little and I want to wait until I can be 100% consistent with it.  

Anyone go through this or have some advice?  TIA

  • Oh, I'm interested in what people's answers might be - Austin nurses before bed as well (bedtime and naptime)
  • I always had Alex eating right when he woke up. We would play to get him tired enough to nap, and never ended up doing the nursing/feeding to sleep thing unless it was the last overnight one that he clung to (which was basically waking to eat and going right back to bed).
