Sleep help! 14months and still waking up every 2hours

I'm so fed up, DD is still waking at best every 2hours and I'm slowly going insane. I didn't keep up with expressed milk in bottles over lockdown one so she refuses all bottles/cups and will only breast feed to sleep.

How do I move on from here, DS is 3 and I moved forward by DH using bottles with him but it doesn't work for her.

Do I try and cut night time feeds? I've tried to do it before but she just screams and screams. She doesn't respond to being rocked or sang to.

Any help would be appreciated

I would definitely night wean. Wait for a time where she's not teething/under the weather, do your research and go for it. Ensure she's eaten and drunk plenty during the day and hold onto the knowledge that she needs good sleep to develop and you need good sleep to function. It will be better for the whole family to have her sleeping for longer periods.

No advice, just solidarity! My DD (now 6) didn't go longer than 2/3 hours until she was just over 2... it was bloody horrendous. Bedsharing made a big difference to us. Eventually we all slept more.
