Any breastfeeding mums here who’ve been through this?
My little boy won’t sleep at night unless I’m in bed with him and usually with my breast in his mouth. If I try to put him down on his own, he wakes up screaming and panicking and it takes ages to calm him again. Sometimes he wakes every 20 minutes like this.
It used to be even worse — I couldn’t put him down at all — so I know it is improving slowly. But his bedtime is 7pm and right now that means I have to go to bed then too.
I’m starting to feel really burnt out and don’t know what’s normal anymore. Is this common with breastfed babies? Should I just keep going and wait for him to grow out of it, or keep trying to get him to sleep independently?
Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s been through something similar.
