Ds is 13 months.
He has always been a terrible sleeper and we have both become too reliant on bf to get him off to sleep and back to sleep, he wakes at least 4 times on average every single night.
I don't wish to feed him any more, please can you advise of any useful tips/strategies to make this happen.
Thank you.

Try offering water in a sippy cup instead of the boob when he wakes
Get DH/P to settle him instead
Try a dummy (not ideal but you can wean him off this later if it works)
Try getting some other kind of distractor - Ewan the Dream Sheep or a Fisher Price Seahorse (light up and play music basically)
