Ahoy!
Long story short, Spock still wakes on average every 3 hrs over night. On a good night, we get a 4hour stretch, which we might get one or two nights a week, on a bad night she wakes every 1-2hrs. Which happens two or three times a week... It is starting to get to me, I can't handle it anymore.
When she wakes, I have been trying to resettle without bf, but not strictly, and often do just bf her, which lately, 90% of the time she is asleep before she even finishes her first suck, but won't have a bar of sleeping until she feels that nipple on her lips...
Also, after dh leaves for work in the Morning, from about 5am I am so over it I lay down to feed her, which means I can sleep, but she stays on my boob until 730, and I have been in the same position and my hip takes all day to recover.
So I plan to be more strict, I'm thinking of doing a no milk time block. Eg, no bf at all between 11pm and 5am. Have people had any success doing this? I'm hoping this will eventually give her a longer sleeping blocks...I know it will be a battle for a bit.
Any other tips? Suggestions? Advice?
