We are currently trying to night wean ds who is nearly 9 months. He is a very big boy and on last weigh in was above 99%. Since weaning he has gone up centiles from about 95%. His sleep has been bad since 4 months and worse since about 6.5 months - waking every 1-2 hours at night for a feed. We now have set nap times in the day, one in the car or pram to try and break the link between a feed and sleep, as suggested by a breast feeding counsellor.
Anyone got any advice? I have read 'The No Cry Sleep Solution' and didn't find it that helpful. We don't co-sleep and I don't want to. I don't expect him to sleep all night but 3 or 4 hours sleep in one go would be great!
I need more sleep and for someone else to be able to take care of ds as I will be going back to work soon. I realise there is no magic solution but some ideas from people who have been there would be great.
