Hi all I have a 8 month old very happy heathy exclusively breast feed baby, the problem is with his sleeping.!! (And mine!!) after last lot of jabs he was poorly & the hot weather we quickly got in the habit of feeding to sleep. Now he will not self settle & will only sleep on me unless in buggy or car.!

Day naps are a struggle currently & he seams to go the 20 min cycle then wake... Resulting in him getting over tired.!

Nights... Sleeping through is still a dream for me, most nights he's up 3-5 times.

He loves his food & is on three meals a day with pudding, a pm snack & about 3 day feeds & bed time feed then whenever he wakes. Not untreated in any other settling techniques other than the wonders of the boob, back asleep in minutes.!

I did two days sleep training (crying) and hated every min of it he basically did not sleep & would scream for 2+ hours .....

Desperately looking for ideas, anyone with any...?!?!? I would love to hear from you

Thanks L xx
