please help me!dd is 8 weeks,bf,and will not settle to sleep unless sucking on my nipple.i take it away and automatically she wakes and will not settle for anything(ive tried heaps!rocking,singing,the sling,putting her down tired but awake,different types of dummies) but my nipple seems to be the only thing to settle her. I am pretty sure that most of the time she is not taking anything(but with bf babies i guess u can never be 100% sure!)
Am slightly at my wits end with this as have a ds 17months and cannot sleep properly with her fussing. He also was a terrible sleeper in a different way(classic high need baby) and am finding dd is too(i thought the second baby was meant to be easier?!?!an urban myth in my household i think)
Should i resort to formula?I don't have enough time to express with both of them and being on my own most of the time!
So!any suggestions would be appreciated!thank you
