Please help me.
6 month old use to need boob to get to sleep when newborn.
Around 6 weeks gave her dummy and has used that to get to sleep ever since.
Will fall asleep quite happily in car or pushchair, needed dummy to fall asleep in arms, would then be transferred to cot.
Never been able to have dummy in cot and go to sleep, always in arms first.
On Thursday I threw her dummies away as she has been waking more and more each night needing them back in.
How the hell do I get her to sleep now?
Last 2 nights plus a few naps have been a battle of rocking, boob, jiggling for hours and trying to put her down about 6 times until she eventually stays down and asleep.
On the plus side- once down, she has not once woken and not resettled herself which is LOVELY but I'm really struggling with the 90 minute exhaustion of rocking, boob, crying, patting to get her to sleep.
How do I get her to just lay down in the cot and go to sleep? I don't mind having to stand and pat or whatever but none of that's working. I really don't want to have to give her boob to get her to sleep every time.
