Ive always breastfed my daughter too sleep, i never really had a problem with this until she has started biting me.
She doesnt breast feed during the day anymore and this is our only feed and i dread it. How do i get her too sleep without boob?
She can't latch on bottles... she does love her slippy cup but i dont want to change one bad habit for another.
Bed time has been a night mare lately.

She's old enough to understand bite = no boob. Tell her how much you love your night time closeness with her and that you enjoy her boob time as much as she does. But... boobs are NOT for biting. If she bites, immediately stop feeding and leave the room. No reaction, yelling (as much as you want to - it hurts!) and leave her. Do not go back. Get hubby to do that night's routine. Next night the same. she will either stop biting or ween herself within a few days. It might be hell for those few days but it works. Biting is not negotiable. Good luck.
Sounds like you might need to look into controlled crying, so that she can learn how to put herself to sleep without being fed.... good luck
