My son is almost 20 months old (wow! he's growing up fast!). Most of the time when I put him to bed now we brush our teeth, I read him a story, and he nurses while I read and sing songs. I let him nurse to sleep then put him in the crib and hope he'll sleep for at least three hours (not a great sleeper). The other night he was a little too wound up to nurse to sleep and kept trying to call for Daddy to come and play with him. I tried to get him to nurse twice (which he did) but he didn't fall asleep so I sat him up and rocked him on my shoulder.
He protested because it wasn't what he wanted, but he didn't protest a lot and then fell asleep. It's nice to have snuggles and not always be nursing.
For those that may be confused I started writing this post in February then got busy and sick and am just now able to finish it and publish it.
