My 19 mo breastfed daughter has only slept through a handful of times and I'm now really struggling. She doesn't bf during the day but I feed her before bed (she sometimes feeds to sleep, other times she will go down awake and chat herself to sleep). I don't mind the bedtime feed but she's waking at least once in the night, but usually twice and sometimes more and only boob will settle her. A month or so ago we did a week of my DH settling her if she woke and it worked well, she settled more quickly for him as she knew she wasn't getting boob, but a cold and three molars put a stop to that and she now won't settle for him.
I feel ready to stop bfing (I have for a while) but she's still so reliant on it during the night. I'm so tired I can't function!
