So my daughter has never slept well, and certainly has never slept through (has done the odd eight hour stretch but it's once in a blue moon).
She has recently entered into yet another terrible sleep phase and is waking on the dot, same time, every night. 10:20,1:20,4:20 and up for the day at 7. It takes about 10-20mins usually to resettle her, sometimes just a cuddle will do but often she needs boob (if it's me that goes in).
Anyone else have any experience of this? What is it all about?
She struggles to self settle and often needs a bit of a cuddle to go to sleep still, I'm hoping this is something she will learn soon but appreciate it will happen when she's ready. We didn't sleep train her, I just couldn't bare to do it and by the time we felt we really needed to do something about how bad her sleep was, everything was a bit too late in the game. She's a very bright little thing and quite clingy with me still.
I'm trying to wean her from breast feeding as I know it's all linked. I am just exhausted and often use it as a back up superpower if nothing else works. My partner wants me to stop (and doesn't actually know that I still sometimes feed her overnight as it's me that does 99% of the night wakes).
Any advice would be nice. Please be kind - I've been torn apart on here a few times when talking about BF still at her age.
