all-night booby buffet - 6.5 month old
« on: February 14, 2010, 18:46:35 pm »
Hi Everyone!

I really need some help and advice.  My dd is 6 and a half months old.  She wakes up anywhere from 4 times a night, to 7 times.  All she seems to want to the boob.  I am exhausted and can't keep on like this. 

HOW do I get her to sleep better.

It sounds like the breast has become a prop for night wakings. Yazzie is right and the routine may be an issue but I am afraid that the only way to stop feeding to sleep all night is to stop feeding to sleep all night! Have you read any of the BW books? You could use shush pat and/or PUPD to settle her instead of feeding. Yes there will be lots of crying.

What are the BW books?  Sorry!  I also don't know what PUPD is.  *blush*

The babywhisperer books! This site is set up to support parents who are using the babywhisperer methods like shush-pat and Pick Up Put Down (PUPD). The books are by Tracy Hogg and I can really recommend The Secrets of the Babywhisperer and/or The Babywhisperer Solves All Your Problems.
