Yes she is using it as a prop.
She hardly ever puts herself to sleep, there is always something going on and it has become a quick fix!
She has a 6:30 bf, then sometimes one bf in the day or ona two nap day, no bf.
She has had lots of nf's since about April, it all changed when she was 4 months and this has now been going on for months. I keep trying to extend times between feeds but sometimes it's every 2 hours and I'm so exhausted I just feed as I know it's a full on day all day from 6 to 8 and I need the energy. I manage fine on 5 hours of broken sleep but less than that is just not fun.
So far tonight
7:20 asleep, bf
8 pm awake, cuddled and soothed, back to cot
11pm feed (my other two dd's have bad coughs etc and tonight is not a night to do sleep training or try to extend times.
I am sure she wil want 3 more feeds tonight.
I really need help to change the habit.
