And I'm EXHAUSTED!!
She goes to bed between 6.30-7.30pm depending on how long dinner and bath time takes. She'll have a 9oz bottle when she goes down to sleep, then another at 10pm ish when dp and I come to bed (as she usually wakes at that time)
The she tends to wake at 1, 3 and 6am for nappy changes and milk (all 9oz) before waking up at 8.30-9am to start the day. She doesn't have naps in the day unless we've been out in the morning as, unless she's tired enough, she'll get upset and refuse to nap.
She is a little sparrow when it comes to food in the day and I think this stems from having so much milk at night, but I'm worried about not giving her milk at night because she's not eaten a huge deal in the day and I don't want to say no to milk if she's hungry, so it's all a horrible catch 22.
Please can I have some advice about getting her off the milk and, hopefully, starting to sleep for longer periods at night because I'm at a total loss. She's a happy, healthy little girl and weighed 2 stone when we were playing with the scales on Saturday! DP and I just need help with how to tackle the milk binge at night, especially as DP has to get up at 6 for work every morning and we split the jobs between us when DD wakes (DP does the nappy change while I get DD some milk)
