DS is 2.5yo. since birth, he has been breastfed to sleep. i have never

Still having no joy with the sleeping ....
We have to proactively take steps to get her to go to sleep, if we didn't
then she would be awake 24/7 I'm sure.
Since the last post ... some things have changed and that is she now cries

DD is 11 months old.  She doesn't have many words yet (dada, mama,
uh-oh, uh-uh), but she can wave and just started clapping recently (at
appropriate times, even!)
So, the sweetest thing happened.  She was nursing, looked up at me with

The last time I nursed the Moo was 3 days ago, he wasn't that
