I need help and I'm hoping there's someone out there who's been there and got out sane...
I'm writing this lying on my bed breast feeding my 9 month DD (whose sleeping, but cannot seem stay asleep without my boob). We slipped into a routine of breast feeding to sleep and co-sleeping early on (long story - CS, no help at night and just needing to cope somehow). Now she's so mobile that I can't leave her to sleep on the bed and I either have to stay with her or move her to the cot. She has never learned how to settle herself and I am at a loss of how to teach her. We had a brief spell where I could rock her to sleep and then put her down, but we've regressed now because of teething, colds etc. I can't even put her down in the cot without her sitting up, pulling herself up, crawling etc.
Any advice? I'm so tired, I don't even know if the above makes sense... Thank you
