Hello Mums,
I''ve found this wonderful website and I'm hoping please someone can give me some advice. I've looked on youtube and haven't found anything and I am on my own with my baby as my husband works long hours and I don't know how to do this. My little girl is almost 7 months old and she wakes up constantly during the night to drink milk. At one point a couple of months ago she got to a point of waking just twice and each time I gave her 150ml of formula. Then someone suggested to my husband to try to cut down on the amount of milk we give her during the night so we started giving her just 30ml of milk each time she wakes up. The problem now is she wakes up every 2 hours now for 30ml so what I've done is gone from her waking twice for 150ml a time to now waking every 2 hours for 30ml. My head is spinning, obviously I am doing something wrong but I don't know what. My baby sleeps from around 8-9pm to 7-8am, she gets to sleep fine and barely wakes when she drinks her milk, she just cries and cries, I give her milk and she goes back to sleep and so on. I don't know what I'm doing wrong please help me! Someone suggested to my husband to let her cry the whole night through and after 3 days his baby was sleeping through the night. Is that good advice? I don't know and don't want to make any more mistakes. I feel like I'm messing things up worse.
