Just wanted to post a big thank you to the posters who helped me when I was at breaking point a couple of weeks ago with my DD's sleeping (or lack of without my boob in her mouth!). Minipie, slightlyitchy and EmmaLL thank you so much. Apologies if I have forgotten anyone. Your kind words and suggestions were so appreciated at the time and with a very gradual retreat process ( and no crying!) over the past several nights, I now have a baby who has slept from 6.30pm-6.30am the past 2 nights only waking every 3-4 hours for a feed before going back to sleep on her own (minus my nipple!). I feel like a different person.
