@lifewiththemckennas: Part 2! I’m basically going to be ‘daddy sleep training’ now my husband is home more I’m passing the sleep situation over to him to hopefully break the feed to sleep cycle and help her settle more independently… that’s the plan anyway 😅

Mine didn’t sleep until I stopped feeding at night. She was 14 months and walking 4-6 times per night. I stopped the night boob and by 16 night she was sleeping through the night.

I did the Daddy option, I went and slept downstairs and Daddy just slept next to our 11 month old and it was magic, he never woke for milk again 😆❤️

My 10 months old has been a terrible sleeper since about 4 months. Waking 4-10+ times a day. I’ve made a few changes over the past few weeks and miraculously her sleep has improved! Happy to chat! x

The secret is (mum of 3 grown) that they can fall asleep without being rocked/fed. They need to be able to be very sleepy, and then fall asleep in the space they are staying. That way they can stir/turn/ in bed. So pop them in sleepy but awake, pat them, Shush them, stroke them, but leave them in the cot. It will take two days to change the learned behaviour. ❤️Then they sleep through the night ❤️

I feel you! remember, if you do end up feeding her to settle her, don't beat yourself up about it... nothing worse than breastfeeding and feeling like you failed / caved (you haven't!!!! things take time) x

I’m stuck aswell. My son is 8 months and we co-sleep because he SCREAMS the minute he’s in his cot, his cot is still in my room but he will not settle in there. But co-sleeping is something I’ve always said I didn’t want to do, but I need sleep just as much as he does. Has anyone got any tips how I can try and help my son like his cot?🤞🏼😩

I am stuck in this EXACT cycle. It’s exhausting & my son’s 8 months old. I’m following because if this works for you, I may give it ago 🥳

Sounds like a plan. As soon as she realises she gets daddy and a bottle she might think it’s not worth waking up if she doesn’t get mummy and a bf every time xx

I've found that swapping my boob for the dummy as she drifts off has meant she will now settle with only the dummy after feeding her to sleep once, might be a small thing to try if she doesn't already drift off with the dummy

It's so refreshing to see a mum breastfeeding throughout the baby's first year! Lucky little girl x

If it gives you a few solid hours of sleep it will be a game changer. Good luck. I remember night times with my daughter as if it was yesterday..... She was 30 in July! 🤣 💛

I feel this is the only way we managed to get Daisy to sleep so well. Matt does the bedtime bottle and putting to bed as Daisy is so attached to me. Any wake ups Matt did so she couldn’t smell my milk. Obviously I still let her have 2 feeds to start in the night. Then dropped to 1 and now none! Hope this helps you ♥️

Noise cancelling headphones playing loud white noise while Daddy is on duty! Even if there are happy noises, it'll help. Godspeed!

1- be assured that, physically, she “can” sleep through the night at her age. This isn’t a matter of inability, it’s a matter of conditioning her, so that she knows she can too. ❤️2- at this age/size, her body is able to get enough nutrition during waking hours. Make sure she’s tanking up during the day- so she doesn’t have a physical need during the night. A newborn can, physically, only consume so much at a feed- so they need to eat more frequently, around the clock, to sustain themselves. She’s beyond that. As adults, we don’t have a physical need to eat overnight to meet our nutritional goals. 3- if she’s eating enough calories during the day- then at night, these are purely comfort feeds. She hasn’t gotten the skills and confidence to settle herself. I’m just trying to offer assurance that you’re not starving your baby. 4- nursing is also connection and comfort, not just nutrition. Nursing all night isn’t “wrong”. Weather it’s a special circumstance (illness, nightmare) or it’s what works best for your family. At her age/size it’s a CHOICE…but not a wrong choice. You’re not denying her a physical need. You’re helping her learn new emotional skills

I would love to hear how you get on with this. I am in the same boat and am struggling to find a way that works for us all but also improves my little one’s sleep. Good luck with it all!

My boy is a very similar age he is one 5 days after Christmas and his sleep is getting worse. I’d managed to somewhat break the strong feed to sleep association to a point where I could resettle without a feed for 1/2 of the night wakings, but then he got ill and it all went to pot 😭 his cot is still in my room because I don’t think I’d survive these wake ups if I had to get out of bed every time! If this works for you I might give it a try, I need something to change before I go back to work 😭
