My DS is nearly 7 months now and EBF apart from a few finger foods. The thing is, he has not slept for more than 3 hours since 3.5 months. Usually he wakes up every hour or two all evening and night and his cries ramp up until I feed him back to sleep. If I try to rock him instead he will scream the house down.
During the day he will sleep in the car, sling, buggy- anything moving, but always feeds to sleep before going down for the night.
My sister has suggested introducing formula to fill him up more at his last feed but I don't think he's hungry and tbh I do love breastfeeding him- just not all the time! I try not to cosleep as he wants to be attached the whole time and I find it very uncomfortable bordering on painful by the early hours.
He won't take a dummy any more and had stopped sucking his fingers to sooth himself since his two bottom teeth came through.
How can I get him to feed less at night? Thanks.
