8m and nothing but boob works at the moment

[Quodlibet]

DD has at points been a good sleeper, but currently it's impossible to get her to sleep without boob. Fine if she's waking once or twice a night, horrible if she's waking every hour or so. I am so sick of feeling like the human dummy.
Just tried to stick it out tonight after 4th wake up at 2am and have just endured a solid 2 hrs of crying - furious upset heartbroken wailing which left me in tears too. I have just cracked and let her nurse as couldn't bear it anymore - I feel as bad as if I had left her alone to cry, as even with cuddles, singing, walking she was inconsolable. Wtf do I do?? I am at the end of the line with being used as a dummy all night, but all approaches that I have read about involve withholding boob and getting her to sleep by other means, which just isn't working. Can someone help me get some perspective? I just feel dreadful, like I have tortured my pot baby for 2 hrs and then given in, rendering the whole experience pointless.

try reading no cry sleep solution by Elizabeth pantley she seems to really understand breastfeeding and how to gently ease the boob to sleep association.

Poor you. No helpful advice really - too brain-fogged and achy from marching round the living room for over an hour and a half in an attempt to get my own 10m DS to sleep without feeding! Hope you can get some sleep now - don't beat yourself up about it, but it's difficult in middle of the night. x

Thanks - I have skim read it but not properly. Will go back to it. Clearly trying to attempt new things at 2am with no clear plan isn't working and she isn't ready to go boob cold turkey.
