Hi, I need some advise please!
My baby girl is 6 months now and has always been breast fed to sleep, at first she would feed and then I would place her in her crib and she would sleep, that soon went to pot and some how I'm not too sure how she's ended up sleeping next to me in my bed half the time with a boob in her mouth, she sleeps well and doesn't feed in the night she just wants the boob in there for comfort I guess.
This isn't ideal for various reasons one being my husband sleeping on the edge of his side and literally falling out of bed one night he has that little room 😂 Baby sleeps next to me and I go in the middle, anyway I need to move her to her own room and cot but have no idea how to, if I feed her to sleep and put her down she sleeps for ten mins and then wakes up looking for a nipple and then gets upset when there isn't one, she has never taken a dummy so that's no good, I can't let her cry it out as I can't bear it and have read so much about Romanian orphans who were left to cry etc it's put it off that for life so I have no clue what to do!
She has a sleeping bag, a good bedtime routine, she just wants a warm boob to snuggle up to, I feel like I've broken her and she will be like this forever!
Any advise or tips to get her to settle in her cot by herself will be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you xx
