AIBU to think this isn't sustainable? Co-sleeping 3 month old feeding constantly through the night, phsse help!

[Secretlifeofme]

My 3 month old used to be a great sleeper, sleeping in chunks of up to 6 hours a night before waking for a feed. From her POV she is still a great sleeper as she still only wakes up once a night at about 4.30am, but she feeds in her sleep CONSTANTLY. At least every hour and often more. She's been doing it for about a week now, not every single night but most nights and is driving me demented with lack of sleep! What can I do? Presumably if I try to stop co-sleeping it will only be worse because she will wake up crying if she can't find the boob . Could I try a dummy? Please help, I'm desperate. 3am here and I've had about an hour and a half's sleep so far

(I was actually fully prepared to be told it was a sleep regression and I just had to deal with it, but sometimes there is a medical cause.)

My son was like this from birth to about 14mo, cosleeping was the only way I survived it. I didn’t enjoy cosleeping, but the alternatives were worse as he didn’t sleep any better any other way. This is probably not what you want to hear but it seems completely normal to me.

@LittleBearPad it might be - it might be much harder to have to get out of bed every hour and half than just turn over, nurse and cuddle back to sleep.

Sounds like building your supply in preparation for a growth spurt. How long has she been like this? Have you got anyone who can help you during the day so you can catch up on some sleep?

Also, baby is only 12 weeks. That's still really little for any real kind of routine. Everyone says it, but it won't last forever! Make sure you're getting support for yourself though!
