I'm at my wits end. Nearly 11 month old has always been a really terrible sleeper. Recently Ive tried to be stricter and get her to at least start the night in her own bed as ours is too small for 3 of us so DP has been on the sofa for months and not only is this affecting our already fragile relationship, but the sofa can't take anymore and is breaking!
Anyway I would dearly love to stop breastfeeding, but the only way she will fall asleep is by me feeding her. I can sit in her room for hours and hours and hours and hours (which i do) putting her back over and over again until she ends up screaming like she's in absolute agony but she won't go to sleep. In the middle of the night, Im afraid I don't even try this as The neighbours also have children and babies and in our block you can hear everything. So I feed her back to sleep. If I don't, she stands/sits up and screams. She's never taken a dummy. Dp works and Im not back yet so I can't really ask for his help.
Any suggestions? How on earth do people get babies to sleep without feeding them?!!
