Anothe night of constantly disturbed sleep. Ds feeds to sleep around 7. Wakes 9.30-10, feeds, back in cot. Was sleepung til around 1 then feeding and co sleeping. Currently lucky if he goes another hour in his cot after hus 9.30/10 feed.

Co sleeping - stirs at least every 45 minutes rooting and pulling at my nightie. Latches on, back to sleep.

Will NOT take a dummy. Oh how i have tried. I do have a husband. He gets up at 4am 7 days a week and works two jobs. No days off. So trying to keep things quiet overnight.

Any suggestions re the boob addiction? I feel i need to try to settle him without latching on. Obviously i am happy to feed him.overnight but he isnt really feeding until around 3am.

Hes 6mo. Help. I'm knackered and back to work in april.

P.s. Wont take a bottle either but is starting to drink feom a sippee cup.
