Baby cosleeping wants to feed all night

[sleepymum87]

Hi everyone!

My three month old has suddenly gone from sleeping in her next to me cot all night with 1-2 wakes to feed, to waking up after a couple of hours and refusing to resettle in her cot. So I put her safely in my bed so we can get some sleep, but I feel like she’s constantly stirring (not fully waking) and nudging me to breastfeed a little (which we do lying down) before going back to sleep for a short while.

Any advice on firstly getting her to settle back in the cot, and/or stop stirring in my bed? I’m sure she can smell the milk and it’s making her want to feed out of habit! Oh and feeding her is literally the only way she’ll sleep. Thanks so much in advance!!

Can you swap places with your DH and have him pass her to you for feeds?

My 18-month-old is still like this and I have to sleep in a different room so that we all get more sleep. Obviously you can't do that though!

So glad I’m not the only one trying to figure this out! You mean have him by the next to me crib? I’d certainly be up for it, not convinced DH will keep to have his sleep disrupted though (he works full time)!
