First problem
- LO is increasingly using breastfeeds as a way to go to sleep. If I'm lucky he may drift off by himself, but only occasionally. I'd love to be able to put him sleepy in his cot but he just criiiiiies. I can tell when he's tired (he gets red eyes that he rubs and his eyelids drop) so I try to catch him before he is over tired but no.....
Second problem
- He will not have a bottle. I want to stop bf at 6 months so trying to ease him into bottles/beakers gradually. I've tried different bottles ad teats and beakers etc but he hates them. I dread trying it now as he gets upset. Its not a milk issue as he wont take my milk in it......do I just keep trying?
Third problem
- He usually spends from 2/3 am till 7am in our bed as he wakes up then for a feed and rarely goes back to sleep in his cot. I just don't want it to become a bad habit but a screamingbaby at 3 in the morning is difficult as my husband never goes to him i do
