Hi I am co sleeping with my 5 months as well and he wakes up every 2 hours at night to breastfeed. Whoami has your baby been able to stay asleep without needing to breastfeed while still co sleeping? Thanks

Hi, I moved him in his own room 4 months ago. I'm afraid he still wakes up to breastfeed 3-4 times a night. It's hard and I'm tired. If I have 1 word of advice it is to take sleep training seriously as 5 months old is still young. My boy is now 11 months old and it is only getting harder..but we will persist. Don't give up!

Hey girl, how did you manage to let your babe to fall asleep without breastfeeding?

@@Innessofficial hi, first of all, I moved him to his own room so he could not smell me. Then, I would breast feed him and made sure I'd not try not to wake him up as I placed him in bed (I wasn't super gentle or careful as I put him down) - you need to ensure he/she is not asleep so they realise that the breast is not the only thing that can put them to sleep and they need to calm themselves down somehow else. If he cried (which he did in the beginning) I'd rub his back and sush him then take him up and try to calm him any way I could other than the breast. If he wouldn't calm down, I'd breastfeed again and try the same. It also helped a lot when my hurband got involved because my son realised he couldn't always have breast. It is difficult as they do protect when this change happens but eventually, they learn that they can't have it all the time. Hope this helps.

How did it turn out? I'm in the same boat now :(

@@leenaparsons9876 to be honest, I stopped following this advice. It did not feel right to get my baby to be that distressed just for me to be more comfortable. She’ll stop feeding to sleep eventually all by herself without any screaming so I’ve succumbed to that.

@@strwbrryfinchy I'm trying to be that way but my mother in law that I live with says I'm causaing my daughter to be emotionally dependent on me when that's not the case. Why would I force such a change for everyone else's sake? I know she'll grow out of it and I'm patient with her but everyone wants me to start working and I don't know how to deal with it.

@@emilyhoward8734 you know what’s best for your baby and for you, no one else. If trying other people’s tips and tricks doesn’t work well or doesn’t feel good to you, you have the power to move to techniques that do work for you even if that means breastfeeding all night and bed sharing. Your baby is allowed to be emotionally dependant on you, they are a baby! They’re not capable of being self-sufficient in most ways. Eventually all children learn to sleep alone, regardless of what technique is implemented. Sorry I get a bit worked up about this! You’re doing a great job hun, your MIL can keep her opinions to herself.

@@strwbrryfinchy your right they do.

Nune Levonyan thanks for your feedback and please don’t apologise for your opinion, you’re entitled to it. This is one of my older videos and I’m of the opinion that done is better than perfect. If I were to get hung up on perfectionism, there wouldn’t be any videos on this channel. I’d rather put it out there and hop that it helps someone in some way 😊

It will take a gradual shift to move the calories she is in boarding at night into the daytime. I’d suggest a reduction in night feeding and offering a nice big feed first thing in the morning. Then feed upon waking from any daytime naps and another big feed before bedtime. Shouldn’t take more than 4-5 days to turn this around x

Klementina Kuk I feel you on that one

Did you find a solution? I'm in the thick of it with my 4 month old right now

3+ hours and hunger may strike but if it’s taking that long, something isn’t quite right with the approach and i would be looking carefully at what is happening and how you are soothing and responding to uncover why.

I used to take 3 hours to put my baby down after nursing to sleep. There is definitely something wrong with that approach. Eventually started co sleeping and nursing, hoping it would make it better. It did not. I am going to try these tips. My daughter is super dependent on me for sleep. I need her to go to sleep on her own because she wakes up too many times during the night and screams when she is off the breast. Thank you.

I found this video on Calmer Fixer Blueprint - there's many useful videos there that will help out

Thanks a lot!! :)

This video was incredibly helpful for me. My son is 15 months and has nursed to sleep since he was born. He won't take a bottle, a pacifier, or a lovey. He only wants the breast. I can't be a pacifier all night every 2-3 hrs anymore, at some point a mother's mental health can be affected by this situation. Finding a new way to comfort your baby is not bad advice. I needed this video, because the sheer dependency on me as a pacifier all night is making me wish to cease nursing entirely. I know that if we can find other ways to soothe, nursing can continue through toddlerhood.

I’m in this position with my son. Did it get any better?

So am I - outcome?

It’s not ‘wrong’ and is never wrong to feed a hungry baby. We’re talking about when it’s not hunger. So the first step is to establish whether it is genuine hunger or not

This question makes me think....How different realities can be. I have a 7 month baby and a 3 years old child. I am waking 6 times or more during The night to feed hein, and during the day I cant stand my eyes openned with two little ones to take Care of. I feel terríble to make my kids go throug this, they deserve attention and a rested mim

A dream feed is a great idea when you’re down to the 1 night feed, yes.
