Ok sorry in advance for long post!!
so my nearly 7 month old daughter used to sleep 10-12 hours a night from about 6 weeks until she was 4 months old. Then she got bronchiolitis and had her 4 month vaccinations around then and has stopped sleeping through since (only has slept through a small handful of times). I think maybe she was thrown out of routine due to her being sick but now I don't know what to do!
I've been trying lots of things. I'm breast feeding and she always falls asleep while feeding so I'd always hold her up for a bit after (due to reflux also) and then put her down. The past few days she's even been waking up nearly hourly during the night!! I try not to feed her every time she wakes up, but she always nuzzles in and I think it's now just a comfort thing. (She's not into dummies) Ive tried putting her into bed awake but sleepy, patting, singing, rocking etc...also I get to a point during the night where I turn into a zombie and give up and bring her into bed with me, but now I'm sure she is just used to that also!
it's just getting to me now and I'm beating myself up now as I feel like i am failing as a parent as I have created bad habits and it's my own fault. I'm just so tired and I don't know what to do anymore. Has anyone been through something similar?? Please help??
I also was referred to tresillian, but they are on holidays until next week and I don't know how long the wait is.
