Nothing magical here at 3 months either. Ok.. i'm going to be really lazy here and copy a reply I just did in this thread: https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...es-please.html Especially as I already lost my post once and had to re-compose it LOL. No mention of 3 months and maybe not 100% relevant, but hopefully some reassurance with dealing with a frequent waker, and feeding to sleep.

DS fed to sleep for probably close to 2 years. We had a natural transition of feeding to sleep, to feeding in bed and staying with him while he fell asleep, and then once he weaned at about 26 months just lying with him until he fell asleep. Then at about 2 1/2 I started trying to leave him awake in bed and went back in a lot praising him for staying in bed and not getting up. Not long after, he was putting himself to sleep and not long after that started sleeping through regularly. We had a similar transition type thing with the co-sleeping. When it felt right, we started putting him to sleep in his own bed and he was still welcome in ours when he woke up, and he eventually started sleeping through.

DD self settled for about 7 months with a dummy & wrap, then progressed to needing rocking to sleep LOL. And still does. I think we're getting ready to start just lying down with her too to get her to sleep.

My advice is to follow their lead, but at the same time guide them if that makes sense. So while DS's going to sleep by himself wasn't necessarily led by him, we both kinda knew it was time to start trying if that made sense. So be reassured that you won't be feeding to sleep forever, things change & progress naturally, with very little resistance in our experience. And I do believe DS is a real success story.. he seriously is SOOOO good at going to bed. He just goes to bed and goes to sleep! You hear of toddlers and older children that keep finding excuses and get up all the time.. nope.. not here! LOL. Not even when we have visitors with kids to play with! He just says goodnight to everyone and co-operates and goes to bed! Only time he fights us is when he's overtired and cranky anyway. But he still doesn't get up haha. I do believe it's my hard work paying off

I had people telling me I was making a rod for my back, but I don't believe our end result is a rod for anyone's back! Plus if you're happy to feed to sleep or do whatever you need to do, then it's no one's business how you do it.. it's not them doing it is it.

Oh and also.. while people were tutting at our 'bad habits' they couldn't help being impressed that I could get DS to sleep absolutely anywhere.. didn't matter who's house we were at or where we were, just had to feed him and within about 15mins he was off. haha.

Enjoy it It definitely won't last forever. Don't doubt yourself, you'll know when to move on to the next stage. You're doing a great job
I'll say again, don't doubt yourself. You're meeting the needs of YOUR baby, not someone elses. It is hard not to feel jealous of 'sleepers' but rest assured they will have sleepless/unsettled nights again somewhere along the line. hahaha.

I always tell myself I'm glad my babies never slept through and then regressed.. it's a bit like flying first class and then going back to economy! At least if I'm in economy the whole time I don't know the difference. I think it would be sooo much harder to go backwards.

Definitely keep doing whatever works for you, and try not to compare.. easier said than done, but keep reminding yourself of how well you're meeting your bub's needs

OK.. just re-read your post.. and you're feeling the sleep deprivation.. all i can suggest really is co-sleep. You can give a quick feed before she wakes up too much, you can do it lying down and then both drift back off to sleep. It is very tiring to actually get up and attend to bub and stay up trying to get them back to sleep. In the same bed, you can sort of fall into a sleeping rhythm with them and can do night feeds/settling half asleep. *hugs* hope you can catch up on a few zz's soon so you can keep going.
