Frequent waking - 6 months old

[clarehk]

Any advice on how to encourage my 6 month old to get herself back to sleep without needing to breastfeed? She can self soothe herself to sleep at the beginning of the night fine, but the proceeds to wake approx every hour through the night wanting to breastfeed herself back to sleep. Im exhausted! Will not consider leaving her to cry..

put her in bed with you and she'll grow out of it. sorry to be brief, this is what i did and ds was out and in his own room by 11 months. no rods on backs at all.

I am looking for some advice on how to encourage my 6month old to put herself back to sleep without needing to breastfeed (which at these times she just uses for comfort). She can self-soothe herself to sleep at the beginning of the night but then wakes frequently wanting to breastfeed. Am exhausted! She has a dummy which can sometimes help. I will not let her cry it out

I rock my 7m old. I just stand by the cot and hold the side and rock away.Last night it took 5 mins or so but she then slept for another 3 hours.

If you do this you need to tighten up the screws in the cot once in a while!

let me know how if you find out. last night a noise woke my 6.5 month old and he had had lots of milk just 1.5 hours previously, so i knew he wasn't hungry. we tried everything - cuddled him in bed with us, offered water, rocked him, white noise etc, to try to convince him he doesn't always need to bf to go back to sleep. after an hour i was so tense and unhappy, it was against all my maternal instincts not to feed him, so i gave in and fed him and we were all asleep in minutes. grr.

sorry no help!
