DD2 is BF and is at the moment waking at around 3am for a feed and then seems to become very awake and alert and will not settle back to sleep by herself (she cries to be picked up ) and therefore ends up hanging onto my boob for god knows how long until I wake and take her off which is usually an hour or more later.
I know that it is not ideal. I tried the dummy last night but it kept falling out . I do not want it to be "awake"time obviously but what can I do ? Should I let her cry ?
It is very hard to keep her awake during the day , But her eyes do stay open for abt 4 hours or so during the day, but she sleeps like a log rest of time.
Any ideas ??? I am beginning to dread the nights .
How many hours sleep did your ones have at this age ?
