Hi my first message but getting desperate for help. Please anyone with any advice that has worked for them.
My baby now 16 months old and still breast-feeding at night which is fine except she is waking almost every hour for a comfort feed.
She used to go down at 7.30pm semi-awake and sleep through til about 5.30am which was bearable. I cut out day time breastfeeds in an attempt to stop completely, then I went back to work and then she was ill for about a month on and off. I put her in our bed through worry and guilt, but did manage to get her back in her cot. Decided to stop morning breastfeed and she started waking in the night for a feed about twice. Two months later and she's waking up to six times a night and completely howls the place down when she wakes.
How do you do controlled crying? - I am feeling ruthless (as she is our second child, first one didn't sleep through in his own bed until about 4 months ago when he was 6 and a half YEARS old. So things are marginally better this time, but don't want to go down that slippery slope).
