8 month old needs a sleep routine
Hi all
So dd2 is 8 months old and is having sleep issues which is starting to affect me.
I co-sleep with both of my daughters and exclusively breastfeed dd2 on demand.
Unfortunately she wants to sleep at 6.30 and refuses to sleep anywhere else but the bed.
Thats fine with me as i just take my phone with me and accommodate her.
However i cannot move away from her when in bed and even if i go to the toilet which is in my room she will wake up and cry.
It seems to br getting worse too. Now im struggling to put her down even while being fed. She has severe eczema so i have to make her sleep otherwise she will itch and itvh until her skin is raw again.
So last night she struggled to sleep and took 2 hrs to put her to sleep with her beong tired from crying.
This is with me comforting her and offering the breast which she srank a bit then stopped.
Shes never slept through the night either waking up every 2 to 3 hrs for a comfort suck which im find with
So how oh how do i make her sleep better should i start a routine? Ive never had routines so dont even know where to start!!!!
Btw her day sleeps are just as bad but i can handle them
