Morning,
DD is 10 months old, she is still BF has 3 meals a day and 4 teeth. She's my world and I am trying so very hard to take a natural approach.
I don't let her cry, hold her, comfort her and try to make her feel as loved as possible. She starts the night in her cot- she feeds to sleep, a habit with tried to break with cuddles and hair stroking but she just gets over excited and thinks she's missing out on something.
She comes in with me in the early hours for milk and cuddles- we both sleep better this way.
Anyway, for the last couple of weeks our usual 4 hourly wakings have turned into crying in her sleep every hour, needing lots of comfort and boob and then off we go again.
She doesn't have any signs of more teeth coming, she's not got a temperature, and other than trying to walk and learning some new sounds (a fantastic raspberry and to my joy something which could pass for Mama) everything is the same.
I'm not sure if its her way of telling me that I'm doing something wrong, if I am doing something wrong or if its just another phase. She's my first and I've pretty much winged it this far and feel a bit stuck now. I'm starting to feel like I have a bit of a black cloud looming, I'm hoping its just tiredness.
As the title says... any advice?
Thank you as always.
