DS is 17 months old and his sleep has always been horrendous. He gets enough sleep, it’s just very broken because he is so wakeful. He wakes numerous times a night, sometimes he will find his dummy and go back to sleep but most of the time I have to breastfeed him. He doesn’t fall asleep being fed, he goes back to sleep when I’ve put him back down but he doesn’t settle unless hes had that feed. Then within an hour he can be awake again. We’ve had the odd few weeks where he’s only woken up once but it always goes back to this. He used to fall asleep independently for both naps and bedtime, but for the last month he now refuses his cot at bedtime and will only fall to sleep on my bed and is on and off my boob for ages before finally falling to sleep. He sleeps fine in his cot for naps but during the night he’s now in our bed all night. He’s hysterical if I try and put him in his cot. He also keeps asking for more milk during the day now, despite a month ago he had cut out his day feeds entirely. I feel mentally and physically drained and I want to stop breastfeeding. But I feel like it’s a bad time to stop now that he’s upped his feeds even more! He’s also got his back molars coming through. But I really feel like I can’t go on with such broken night sleep. There’s no sign of it getting better. He slept better at 3 months than this. Did stopping breastfeeding your older baby/toddler improve night sleep? I’m worried that it won’t and I’ll just lose the only tool I have to get him back down again
