I have been sleep deprived for 6 1/2 months now and we have decided to change things.
We tried pick up out down but caved in after 5 nights. My other half has taken time off so we can tackle the problem! We have a good bedtime routine and she goes to sleep with shush/pat.
Last night she was awake every hour from 8 in the evening and I bf her at 11.00 and didn't feed her again until 7am. This is the first time we havent caved in and fed to sleep.
Now she is asleep and hopefully won't wake up til the morning!!!!! but I dont know whether to try and give her a bottle at 10.30/bf her at 11.00/wait til she wakes up. The other problem is that she doesn't normally take a bottle and definatley will not take formula (she had a bottle two nights ago in her sleep but that was the first one in ages).
Sorry for the long message but thought it would be best to give the full picture.
