OK. Not looking to start a bun fight, nor am I looking for any moralising/judging etc.
Situation as follows: 1 DD (3.5) was ebf until she was around 6 months.
I'm now pregnant again. Yes, I'm aware that BF'ing is healthier all round yada, yada.
However, DD did not sleep through the night until she was 2.5. I was frequently up anything between 3 and 10 times per night. I was at breaking point, as was DP. I just cannot allow that to happen again for the sake of everyone's mental and physical health.
A lot of my friend's who also ebf have experienced the same. However, most people I know who FF have had good sleepers. Coincidence?
Also, it was me who took on the vast majority of night wakings with DD as it seemed to be just me who could settle her. Probably because of initial breastfeeding..whereas DP could obviously take over a couple of nights a week if bottle feeding.
There seems to be a complete lack of unbiased advice on this, for obvious reasons..
Can anyone give me the benefit of their experience?
