Hello everyone, sorry for the long post. My son is nearly six months old and has never slept for more than 4 hours. This is at the start of the night, from 8ish, then he wakes every two hours or more recently, every hour. Just when I think it can't get any worse, it does! I'm exhausted and something has to change. He is on solids for two meals a day and is gradually starting to take small amounts of formula from a bottle. I started this in the hope of working towards giving him a formula dream feed to help him sleep for longer in the middle of the night. He won't settle without BF every time he wakes up but falls asleep before having a proper feed. It's difficult to keep him awake, and as the night goes on, I get too tired to try. I am co-sleeping, would like him to be in the cot, but having trouble summoning the energy to persist with it at the moment. My HV says I should maybe think about giving up BF as nothing is likely to change unless I do. I'm torn between being desperate for sleep and wanting to continue some BF for lots of reasons. Any ideas / similar experiences would be very welcome.
