Has anyone done this with their baby in the hope that will sleep longer? ?
Honey, my heart goes out to you! You've had one problem after another with the nite time feeding etc. No wonder you're beat all the time, he's literally "running your life" I never had any problems with my 3 adult children & AM thankful for that. They slept all nite when they were just a few mons. old & I didn't have to worry about nite time feedings whatsoever. I fed them all & it didn't take long after a few mons. they were sleeping ALL nite! I had so much milk tho I use to have to wake them to "relieve me" as the milk leaked out all over everything. You KNOW he is NOT hungry. He has just "formed" his own schedule, you've been "complying" to his every whim & he's gotten use to it. I think that's the problem more than anything. I agree with what someone said in their post that if you KNOW NOTHING is wrong with him, put him in another room & let him cry himself back to sleep. It's NOT going to hurt him whatsoever. I think it's more like "he has YOU trained", now it's time for "YOU to train HIM". A 6 mo. old should NOT be waking up 2-3 times a nite to be fed! I also used a pacifier & my last one especially got use to sucking on that & fell back to sleep. I SO wish you the best, honey, I KNOW you're about getting frustrated to the hilt over this. I fed them before I went to bed, they slept the whole nite & were fine. Get him on YOUR schedule & he'll get use to it in time, but KNOW there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with him, so just let him "sing"...:)
