it's hard isn't it? Our little girl is 11mths and still waking approx 3hrly of a night time and we are co-sleeping just to get some sleep. I can't see any light at the end of the tunnel (yet!) and we are using gentle parenting techniques also as we can't stand hearing her cry or scream and we don't believe in CC or CIO methods anyway.

I do believe with gentle parenting, it is the best way and that all our hard work will pay off one day.... also parenting out of instinct. If it doesn't feel right then don't do it.

Very tiring having a baby/toddler that doesn't want to sleep huh? I know what you mean about the "mum mum" and calling out... it really pulls on your heart strings hey!!
