Hi
Im really desperate for some advice with DD3. We are struggling with her sleeping at night and have been for over a year now, I just think it will get better one day but I am realising that I have got to do something about it now. She feeds to sleep and co-sleeps from her first wake up time which could be 10pm/11pm or if Im really lucky, midnight. She then wakes up every 2 hours or so looking for a feed or needing a cuddle. She doesn't need a feed but Im just too exhausted to tackle it or battle it. She seems to get ill every two or three weeks so that always affects her sleep. She has just had a very bad cough and cold and isn't quite over it yet. With my other DD's I had stopped feeding at night at around 9/10 months so this is just what I have used to get her back to sleep quickly so I can have a bit more sleep myself so I can cope with the day with the girls.
Im not sure what to start with but I was thinking that I should just not feed her when she wakes for 1 night, just morning and evening and see how that goes. Then continue that for the following nights, I know this would be horrible but I just cant see how else to do it. I would like to give up feeding her totally as well sometime soon. Everyone else just keeps telling me to leave her to scream but I just cant and wont. Any advice would be really appreciated.
