DD has been have sleep issues for months and is now up to 4 night feeds as she refuses to sleep without a bottle being in her mouth.
Last night i decided instead of putting her down with her bottle (thats were all the trouble started in the first place) i'd feed her then put her down and see what happened. she cried for 20 mins but we left her and didn't go in. We've went in before and she just get hysterical.
Tonight i done the same, zipped her into her grobag, popped her into bed and read her a book. Turned out the light, and she started, went "waa waa ergggh" and was silent by the time i closed the door.
I feel like i have won a major battle, if we can get her out of the needing a bottle to sleep, maybe we can start to drop night feeds, and I can get some sleep.
I hate the thought of CIO totally but the difference in how happy she was to go to bed was amazing. Maybe she'll sleep through by the time number 2 arrives yeeaaaah!
