i'm also breast feeding.... but i started giving my girl one formula milk..
for my girl, she can now sleep without me peacefully.
I started my paln like this ...
1..... bath --> milk --> sleep (until she was abt 9 months old)
2..... milk --> bath --> sleep (stay with her on my bed, arurround her with my arm, let her imagine how close she's with mami, then she'll sleep) (until 10 months)
3......dinner (very very few) --> milk --> bath --> sleep (wont be too close to her, maybe play with her fingers quietly, then she'll sleep) (until 11 months)
4.....dinner-->milk (very very few) -->bath-->sleep (now she can sleep without much playing, sometimes, she can sleep without me, daddy will help)
I think, she doesnt need me at all. Though I feel like less important, it's still good to her becoz she has more stable schedule and rest.
