DD is 8 months old and I have fallen into the habit of always feeding her to sleep / back to sleep if she wakes. Only exception is she will sleep in her buggy during the day if we are out and about.
I have tried controlled crying as I did with ds (successfully) but the trouble is it wakes ds up (their rooms are next to each other and he is now finally sleeping through at 22 months) and I'm not sure I can bear to go through it again.
She will take milk from a sippy cup but not a bottle and doesn't have a dummy.
I know it will get harder if I leave it too much longer. When she wakes up I bring her into the bed with me (I sleep in a single bed in her room) and I often wake up with her next to me after an hour or so and then I put her back in her cot. DH is not happy about the slide towards co-sleeping and wants me back in our room. I want this too.
She is waking at least twice in the early hours, sometimes three times. I don't think it's hunger as she is more nuzzling than really feeding.
Can anyone help?
