does nursing to sleep = never sttn?

For the past month my LO has woken up every hour at night wanting to relatch, will this always continue? I really do not want to have to sleep train!

I dont agree.

I think it will always cont. We were nursing to sleep, now we just kinda rock to sleep.

We dont (haven't) sleep trained and we have had many STTNs.

We nurse/rock to sleep, and he's never STTN... I don't think that the two are directly related, though.

I have always nursed to sleep and he has STTN since he was about 6 weeks old.

Sometimes she falls asleep so fast while I nurse so I just put her down... and she normally stays down!

I nurse DS to sleep every night and he sttn at least 8 hours and has since 4 months. We never had to sleep train either.

We have almost always nursed to sleep and DS sleeps through the night. But he has always been a good sleeper.

I hate you.

mine doesn't STTN but he'll go 5-6 hours without waking, he was up to 8/9 hours which for a BF baby I consider STTN. We're doing elimination instead of any CIO method. It works but takes longer.

I used to nurse to sleep and my LO has never sttn. But now, even though she goes down drowsy, she still doesn't sttn. She wakes up A LOT less than she used to (now 2 times a night vs. every hour). But it was also taking up to 2 hours to get her to go down at night, so we had to sleep train at bedtime only. But every baby is different. I don't plan to sleep train at night wakings since some babies can continue to need to wake up to eat twice a night until they are 9 months. Plus mine is on the small size, so want to make sure she gets as much as needs.

I always nursed DS to sleep and would do it if he woke in the middle of the night. I did this up to almost 2 weeks ago when I stopped BFing. Now I give him a bottle and lay him in his crib awake. He rolls around for 5 or 10 minutes and eventually just falls asleep on his own. Sometimes he will whine here and there but it's nothing. He STTN around 9 or 10 hours. He actually wakes less now. I think the formula holds him over a little better.
