Hi, don’t know where to start but here goes- I have a 3m DD who I’ve fallen into the trap of feeding to sleep with. She refuses the bottle and dummy and very rarely will be rocked/pushed to sleep. I can’t stand her crying so always ‘give in’. I can’t put her down without her waking back up, or will lay down on our bed so that’s where she has all her naps. If I’m lucky I can transfer her to the bedside crib for night time sleep, then she inevitably ends up co-sleeping later in the night. I flit between thinking it’s the most natural thing, to being frustrated that DH can’t settle or feed her. She also had her 12 week jabs recently which has just thrown her sleep completely off so I’m no longer getting a stretch of 4+ hours, it’s more like 1-2! I suppose what I’m after is either some actual advice on how to get her to sleep without my boob or screaming, or some stories on how your little ones grew out of feeding to sleep, aren’t obsessed with you and you only, and some reassurance for DH that eventually she’ll be the daddy’s girl that I secretly thinks he’s craving ☺️
Any advice welcome!
