Dd has been an awful sleeper since birth, slept through maybe 5 times in her life and the rest of the time has constant wake ups for boob.
I’ve managed to cut out night time boob so she only has it 3 times a day (when she wakes up, nap time and bed time) which is amazing. She still wakes up after a few hours and will only settle if I bring her in with DH and I.
The main problem is getting her to sleep, she will not sleep until 9:30/10 and that’s no matter what time she’s put to bed. She won’t sleep unless I sit outside her room against the wall with the door open. Her room is tiny so I can’t actually sit in there without waking her up when I leave hence the sitting outside the door. Sometimes I’m sitting there for 2 hours! My back is absolutely destroyed. Me and DH take it in turns but it means we get zero time together because one of us is sitting there and then she comes into our bed later on in the night anyway.
Have I missed the boat with Cc? I tried to close her door last night but she sounded so upset I only lasted 32 seconds!!! How pathetic is that?
I’m scared doing this now will traumatise her and also being completely honest I can’t fall asleep without DH there so I do understand that she gets lonely or scared alone.
What can I do?!) please help me!
