Hello my first ever post on here!
DD is almost 7m and still night feeds (BF) x3-4 ( i dont count the 10ish feed)
not like i am obsessed with sleep or anything but heres the routine
7pm DD bed in cot next to bed
9pm I go to bed
10ish first feed 50/50 chance of return to cot or cosleep
12ish feed 100% chance of cosleep by now
1.30ishcomfort feed i think
3ish comfort feed i think
4.30 ish comfort feed i think
5-6 am wide awake! (baby not me )
Why I am not dead yet I dont know

Anyway if I do nothing and keep going what will happen and when? Will it just go on and on? I intend to remove the booby from the equation by 1year but hope to sleep better before then. And DH wants to come out spare room (and I want him out)
I am thinking by easter -she'll be 9m , maybe i can go to spare room and DH can offer beaker water, do lift up hold and back in cot and get a new routine going. But maybe it'll upset me too much if we go through with it.
She is a bit better in that up to 5m she did 4-5 night feeds
ALso i thought maybe cos she is right next to me she smells my milk and makes her half wake and seek it out? Maybe if i put the cot in her own bedroom she would wake less? But then I'd need to get out of bed Eeeeeeek!
