Hello, my boy is nearly 6 months, still wakes at least three times in the night for a feed he is breastfed and will not take a bottle! Its getting silly now he goes to sleep in his crip for a few hours then rest of the night he will only go in there for like an hour so ends up in with me, only way I can get sleep and I feel so ill from no sleep I need to get him sleeping longer. Any tips very welcome as I am mearly fainting from exhaustion! Thanks.

@megaroo I am so sorry for you but alsp so glad to hear that cos everyone I talk to at goups just brag about their perfectbabies sleeping through the night and I am beggining to think I am doing something wrong. Cant imagine being pregnant too, u are my hero!

Lol thank you. Im sure there are alot of babys that dont sleep through the night, they just dont want to say anything! Its very hard to deal with, but i just try to stay positive and say she will grow out of it !

My son slept thru the night since he was 2 months old. Then around 6 months he started waking up a couple times a night so i started giving him rice cereal mixed with some kind of fruit or veg right before bed. And he's back to sleeping all night! Not sure if it will help you but maybe it's worth a try. Btw i ebf also. I don't think he was getting enough to fill him up so my mom suggested i try that and it worked!
