My 13 months lo latches to sleep every night and still wakes up every 2-3 hrs during the night to latch / comfort latch. First time, I am going away without Lo for a few days in 2 weeks time and I wonder how do mummies cope with this? When I'm away, my helper or mil should be the one taking care of him. Any experiences shared is deeply appreciated.

Hi. My baby was like until we changed things. For a starters, I will let him latch and when he is very drowsy, I will change over to pacifier v quickly (sometimes will fail tho). How does ur child sleep in the day time? If not latching, u can try to use the method that is used in the day time to put child to sleep. Other things that worked for me are: 1) bottle feed him to sleep - he may fall asleep while drinking or when he has finished drinking, he will be somewhat full and makes it easier to rock/tap to sleep 2) babywear baby to sleep then transfer - whether in a carrier or ringsling or wrap him U may want to have about a week to try other methods of putting him to sleep - having ur mil or helper to do it during this trial week would be good too Hopefully u find something that works for u - otherwise the child might have to cry to sleep for the first few nights. On a side note, u have to be prepared that the child might not latch to sleep when u are back
