I am a single mum to three (aged 5, 3 and 14 months). Tonight the older two have a very rare sleepover at their dad's so I have a chance to at least start to sleep train the baby... She is healthy, eats well in the day but wakes every 2 hours all night every night for a brief comfort breastfeed. I have got to do something!
She sleeps in a cot on the other side of the room from me, I have got a room divider ready to put up. We have white noise so as to wake each other less. Any attempt to not feed her she goes crazy.
Should I start to phase out the comfort feeds and keep one feed only, or go cold turkey?
I don't want to leave her to cry so was thinking of a stay and support type approach but am so tired not sure I will cope. No decent sleep in 14 months and not a single lie in either, she is up at 5am every day.
Help please!
