I’ll try to be brief.

Currently co- sleeping, and she wakes 3-4 times for a breastfed dreamfeed. This never bothered either of us. Now she is waking fully, and taking a while to settle again.

Any tips on getting her to sleep in her own cot?

I have tried...

Letting her cry ( controlled crying)
She cried on/off for 1/2 an hour then woke 2 hours later like usual, so I didn’t feel it was worth all the crying for her to wake so soon after. If she had slept for longer I would have persevered.

Transferred her over to cot when she falls asleep on the bed. Again woke 2 hours later.
When I lift her out to feed, and try to transfer her back, she wakes fully so I end up just keeping her next to me, but I think we are disturbing each other.

I am thinking she should be weaning off the night feeds too, as she eats a
lot during the day.

Any advice on any of this would be really appreciated, thank you.
