Would it be mean to send ebf DS to DMs for the night so I can get some sleep?!

DS is 7months old and bfeeds about four to five times between bedtime at 7pm and 6am.

We are doing blw by default because he absolutely refuses to be spoonfed and I just don't think he manages to eat enough food to be full yet but he is getting better.

I am exhausted. We have just stopped cosleeping and he is doing well in his own cot but getting up and going into another room in the night to feed him is killing me.

He was a bottle refuser but he will take a few sips from time to time.

Mum has offered to have him and Dd for a night to give me a break but I worry that it is unfair on her and him. But she thinks he will accept a bottle if he has to. In the meantime I could get DP to try to give him a bottle for the nightfeeds but if I am there I always crack and go and bfeed him so we get some sleep.

Any thoughts/advice welcome!

Do it! My mum did this and it helped me so much.

Good luck!
