Just typed a massive post and thought people would get bored reading it so have condensed it!
Key facts -
4 months old
Exclusively breastfed
Good bedtime routine of bath, swaddle, feed and she’s asleep
Always goes down in her side cot
Used to sleep quite well at night
What i need help with -
I think she’s become totally dependent on a feed every time she wakes up and won’t go back to sleep without it. This wouldn’t be such an issue but she’s waking every 2 hours now which she never used to do.
She won’t go back in her cot after the first feed so she’s co slept with us since birth.
She stirs at around 1am, if I leave her she wakes and cries, if I scoop her up and lay her next to me she’ll go back to sleep for a few more hours.
I don’t mind co sleeping but not if she’s going to wake every 2 hours! She can’t be hungry that often so I know she doesn’t NEED a feed every time.
What do I do to help her sleep better? I know she can self settle as she does it every morning for her nap!
Any advice is welcome
