Still not linking sleep cycles - 13 months old (cosleeping/BF)

I just wanted to ask when your baby started to consistently link sleep cycles?

My DD is 13 months (not far off 14) and still does not consistently link her sleep cycles. I co sleep and breast feed but can be woken up every hour at night as she wants to suckle/feed back to sleep. It’s particularly bad at the moment (vaccinations, coughs/colds, teething and learning to walk).

Same with day naps. She will sleep for 45 mins ish and then I will need to go in and help her settle for longer (breastfeed/rock/sing).

On occasion she can do it but it’s not frequent at all.

Not interested in sleep training/CIO. Appreciate these may have worked for others but I’m not going to do it.

I wouldn’t say I’m at my wits end but I must admit I was hoping for longer stretches by now!!! 🥱

@Julesyintheskywithdiamonds no problem… honestly though when I was in the thick of it and people kept saying “she’ll get there eventually” I could have screamed at them and I was convinced she just wouldn’t!! But they do.
Yeah twins is absolute chaos to be honest but being a mum the second/third time round I do feel more chilled. My mantra is “everything is a phase - the good and the bad!”
Good luck with your LO, I hope it starts getting easier for you soon!
