I am at my wit's end with this bloody feeding-to-sleep thing DD does. It's been going 3.5 months now and NOTHING that I try will break her of it, but she's breaking me. She feeds 3-hourly at night. Tonight she's done 6pm and 9:30pm, then She had a feed at 1:50, we were back in bed by 2:10. 3am she's awake crying again, from what looks like wind. I go in and do all the winding tricks, get her settled, wait a bit until she's breathing heavily, stand up... BAM she's awake and screaming again and WON'T resettle this time. After about 30 min I lose my temper and kind of do a little foot-stomping dance, stomp out into the lounge so DH will go in, then feel awful for getting angry with her and chuck pillows at the couch. And come back for "I'm sorry" cuddles when DH can't settle her. Then I bloody give in AGAIN and feed her cause I'm so exhausted and don't care anymore, but I do cause I know it's just going to perpetuate the cycle. Someone kill me now!
