DS is 7 months and his sleep ranges from tolerable (4-5 wakings a night) to completely unbearable (up to 15 wakings a night). It's been the latter for the past few nights and we are losing the will to live. I've read the Andrea Grace's gentle sleep solutions book and we're starting the gradual withdrawal method tonight. One thing we're confused with though is night feedings. Will it not be confusing for DS if we're trying to encourage him to settle by himself before 10.30pm, but then feeding him when he wakes after this time? (albeit with reducing each feed by a minute a night). Also if you have used this method, any other advice about how to make this a success would be really gratefully received. We really need this to work to stop us losing our minds.
