Oh you poor thing, 6 months isn't far off now and once weaning starts, the feeds will decrease a little. There is light at the end of the tunnel lovely

Do you have a partner who can do the 11pm feed by a bottle of expressed milk for you? You could then go to bed at 9pm and sleep until the middle of the night feed and get about 5 or 6 hours straight. (This is assuming they take a bottle and aren't co sleeping with you).

Have some chocolate or cake lovely x

I don't know anything about your circumstances but for your sanity perhaps you should buy a few bottles and try your partner/ husband doing the 11pm feed?

I found the NUK bottles which I bought from mothercare my baby was happy to have at 6 months. Used expressed milk so it was just like what he was used to. Saved my sanity as by that stage of it all being me for 6 months and no rest, I was feeling like I was going to go mad.

Really sounds you could do with a hand here.
