Is anyone else still constantly feeding at this age? I feed about every 1-1.5 hrs morning and night. There is rarely a period of settled time except for a couple of hrs in the morning. Sleeping is not popular in the day either and there is constant hand gnawing too. Do bf babies sleep??! if so, is there a date I can look forward to?! All advice appreciated!

My DD is 16 weeks and was like this up until about a week or so ago when she started feeding for shorter periods (30-45 mins) and then going for longer (2-3hrs) between feeds. Prior to this I was constantly feeding!
As for the sleep well that is still non existent in our house. She's like a Duracell bunny! Although she does do a reasonable stretch by night once she's finally given in.
Hopefully you'll find the turning point is coming your way too. A few people had said it gets better from 3-4 months and it certainly has for us. .

I can only hope so. I feel I am neglecting everyone and everything else, Inc my other 2 lovely children.he is actually asleep now but I daren't take him off me, so I have permanent shoulder ache. Glad you are finding things a little easier, it gives me some encouragement.
