So I have 2 children that don't sleep and I need some help as to decide which child to train first
Ok I'm not being fair to the 6mth old - she sleeps ok but still has a DF at 11pm then a feed at 4am (practically on the dot), and then is up for the day at 6/6.30am
Some of you may say WOW that is great but when you add the night wakes of my 3 yo I am averaging 4/5 hours max sleep per night (broken)
I think that Sahria is waking as a habit at 4am as she wakes then whether I feed her at 11pm, 10.30pm or even when I feed her at 10pm she woke at 1am and then again at 4am
She only drinks a full bottle in the dark and half sleepy and so she probably relates bottle to sleep but this also means that she only gets about 540 - 600ml from 7am till 7pm and then a 180ml bottle at DF this makes a max of 680ml per day (no wonder she wakes at night for a bottle) she isn't taking to solids very well so I can't even make it up there
Ohhhh what to do ?
And then Khy ! Well.... what do I say
He wakes between 2 - 6 or more times per night and comes to our room
I have put in place lots of techniques and I am in the midst of trying to inforce them but he is testing the boundaries
I am tired and I know that I have started with Khy and he is at the moment going to bed independantly and then waking at around 4.20am and sometimes will go back to sleep and other times I am ending up on his floor - ofcourse then he sleeps fine
I am so tired as I have had somewhere between 3 - 6 hours sleep per night broken for the past 3 years and I am SOOO sick of it
Some part of me says that I should train Sahria because then at least she is independant (infact she quite often puts herself to sleep - as long as she doesn't fall asleep on that bottle) so I guess I could say that I don't think it would be THAT much work to help her learn to sleep 100 %
Ok now I'm babbling
Please vote as I am somewhat lost as to a correct order
TIA
