My 11 month old little girl is frequently waking in the night still (has since 8mths) so we aren't getting much sleep the last 3 months and I'm REALLY exhausted. I'm cranky alot because I am not getting enough sleep (haven't had more than 2-3hrs in a row in about 3mths)
I love breastfeeding and have no plans to wean any time soon however because DD uses my boobs as comfort so much in the night (we are co-sleeping to get more rest) and very rarely uses it for a drink in the night, I've been thinking of weaning her off night time feeds and only letting her have demand feeds anytime during the day only.
Is this ok to do at my DD's age or is it too early yet? Is she too young for me to do this? I don't really want to do this though... but I feel like I don't have a choice.

I have been offering water in a sippy cup of a night time and she will have a little drink and sometimes still want the boob but only as a way of comfort for her (she isn't really drinking much).... I just am worried what if I don't let her have it and she really does need milk during the night one night during a growth spurt (as an example) and I say no to her

I'm at a loss as to what to do.... I really need more sleep. I am so sleep deprived I really am finding it difficult to function of a daytime and it's affecting my moods etc and I feel I am not being as good a Mum as I could be because of lack of sleep

Some gentle advice please? I'm very pro-breastfeeding so I know night feeds is all part of it... but at this age? that many????
Barb can you help please? It's exhausting letting her come on and off all night on the boob because I really do think it's more of a habit for her and I am awake every time she does it I can't just fall back asleep.

Only just got DD to sleep so better go try and get some sleep now.
