My baby is 9 months old, breastfed, happy and growing well. The only problem is sleep - it is in chaos!
Yesterday went like this:
7am wake up (after having been up and down all night)
breakfast of porridge
9-10am breastfeed and nap
12 lunch
1-2 breastfeed and nap
5 supper
6.30 breastfeed and bedtime
7.30-8 crying out, more milk and resettling
10 pm-11.30pm awake, won't resettle, comes downstairs
11.30 breastfeed and sleep
4am Awake and crying, comes downstairs til 6am...
6.30-8 breastfeed and asleep.
She breastfeeds constantly and won't sleep for long unless I'm next to her. Husband has been kicked out of the bed and my older child is quite tired. I don't even know where to start. My question is, will she naturally reduce bfs and start sleeping longer on her own? She does have a cot by our bed that the early-evening sleeping and naps is done in. She always feeds to sleep except when really tired and in our bed. Someone help me. Don't want to do CC.
