Hi,just popping in ,desperate for advice.

Dd is 17 weeks old,EBF and waking at least twice a night sometimes more.this is baby no.5 and have never had a good sleeper yet.so I am wondering if I am doing something wrong?

I feed her in the evening after bath and she generally falls asleep at the breast around 8-9pm but could be wake as soon as 10,12 or 2 am or maybe all three times then another once or twice before 8am.when she wakes I just put her to the breast.

Should I be trying to just hold her or walk with her instead of putting her to the breast? Please advise?

Thank you x

Sounds fairly normal, I don't think you're doing anything wrong. :)

I've had an ok and a rubbish sleeper, they were both fed back to sleep as required and treated basically the same, one just seemed to be better at sleeping.

The other still wakes up after 2 years. . .

With no 2 I did partial Co sleeping to get some rest on and off from about 4 months old when his sleep went rubbish.I just kept him in with me after the millionth feed if I fell sleep first, if not he went back in cot.

This seems a fairly common age for it!
