My lovely dd has been a very frequent feeder since birth, still every 2 hours round the clock. We co sleep as early on realised was only way to get any sleep. I have quite liked the co sleeping but I have to go to bed with her and if I move/go for a wee etc she wakes up. I feel she might sleep better if I didn't disturb her but she won't even go in the bedside cot thing with side down plus if she's feeding so much it's just easier to have her in bed.
For the last few weeks she also started really thrashing, which wakes me up as she is always very close and invariably attached to the boob. Sometimes I think she thrashes as she's detached from boob, but often she's already attached or continues after I put it back in her mouth.
I look back on the feeding every 2 hours minus thrashing days as total bliss in comparison. I keep thinking she'll stop the thrashing soon but it's been weeks.
I know I need to just tolerate the thrashing but I think I just wanted to hear other experiences of similar sleepers, I just can't see it improving. I'm sick of people saying she'll space out her feeds/sleep longer as she just doesn't! Maybe I just needed a rant!
She also will only sleep in sling in day, won't sleep in car/pram just cries, proper crying. She won't take a dummy (or a bottle we've been trying since about 6 weeks!)
Apologies if bit incoherent just need to hear from others for whom similar situation improved!

4 month old never slept more than 2 hrs. Will it ever improve? Anyone had similar?
