6 month old awake 1.5hrs for night feeds each time!

[Mammmma]

My 6 month old is breastfed and wakes in the night for feeds but it takes 1.5hours to get her back down each time. I dread the nights - is there anything I can do?
I’ve tried a bottle but she’s full after the breastfeeds so it’s not hunger and her nappy is clean. I put her in her cot with a mobile to exhaust herself for a bit and go back to feed after, but she just cries (she’s a nightmare to get to sleep -only BF)
I thought breastfeeding made babies sleepy but this seems to have worn off at the 3/4months old?!

Have you thought about co sleeping? At least you could doze with her laid down next to your feeding then?

Wow that’s rough, poor you, no wonder you dread nights. Does she never fall asleep whilst feeding in the night? I’m up a lot with my 6mo but she’s fairly half asleep for most feeds and usually goes back down ok. Are you changing her nappy in the night? I wouldn’t do that unless necessary. Keeping lights and voices v low?

DD will sometimes go down awake, more often feed to sleep, but also we use my pregnancy gym ball to rock her to sleep, could you try something like that? Less hard on the back than pacing the floors.

Do you think she still needs the milk in the night? DD1 I fed at night til 13mo but this one I think I’ll night wean sooner.

Thanks. It's always in the dark &in silence. She has a good feed, perks up and I eventually feed back to sleep. I've read somewhere it can take 90mins if the baby is so dependent on being fed to sleep, as they wake in the night fully rather than a usual drowsy baby.

She's obsessed with feeding to sleep, only a pram alternatively works. We've tried a little controlled crying, not very long but I just know it won't work - she has stamina. I really don't know how to tackle this as she gets older it'll only be even harder to break. My husband has tried setting her with a bottle but I end up feeding her after a full feed still which seems very wrong. I've got myself into a real situation as she just won't go down drowsy 😫
