Breastfed baby bedtime routine

No advice sorry, but following as wondering the same thing, my little girl cluster feeds for a couple of hours on an evening before bed, finding it hard to get into a better routine, my older 2 children are so loud when she's trying to feed to sleep

You’re not alone🥹😭My baby is 3 months old next week and breastfed he still wakes up every hour during the night, I tried establishing a routine but only way he’d fall asleep is on the breast. As soon as I try to put him down he wakes up so 24/7 I have a baby stuck to me can’t even go to the toilet without him crying. I started giving him a bottle of formula every night at 7:30 but he still fights sleep. Only way he’ll sleep is next to me😭

We do bath time at about 7:45pm, bottle after she's dressed for the night and in her sleeping bag, she tends to chill in her cot for about an hour then has boob until she falls asleep. We have a red night light on until she's deeply asleep and transfer her in her cot. It took a couple of weeks to see the effect but it works for us

I feel like I’ve found my people 😂 I’m in exactly the same situation, baby just feeds on me constantly and will only fall asleep whilst on the boob. Then it’s near impossible for me to put her down because she wakes up and searches for the boob again… I think we’re in a bit of sleep regression at the moment too, she’s 12 weeks old but was 2 weeks late, so near enough the 4 month sleep regression mark, and it’s soooo hard. Waking up every hour-ish looking for a feed. Routines are totally out of the window for me at the mo, following her cues a lot still, aside from quiet time and red night light when I’m trying to settle her to sleep whilst on the boob. But in all honesty she doesn’t properly go down until the early hours - all I can say is white noise, shushing and the rockit are helping me through 😂

I always feed when baby wakes up in the day and not before a nap. Feed baby before sleeping bag? So they are satisfied and sleepy enough to fall asleep? I cuddle mine after a feed at night and then put him down once deep sleeping. Hard for me atm to put him down to try and self settle as I also put my 5 year old to bed so I often feed him whilst I'm reading to her around630 /7pm. He may wake again around 8 so will feed him again but then after this feed he will go down for a few hours then 3-5 hours until the next feed. Maybe try an earlier bed time? Baby could be too wired and fight sleep x

We do - 6pm: breastfeed 7pm: bath (every-night, he loves it!) 7:15pm: dry and dress for bed, whispering, low light sensory light, sing bedtime songs etc) 7:30pm: Infocol and 150ml bottle of breastmilk (which I get up during the night to express between 3-5am as they’re so engorged!) this also contains melatonin which makes my boy extra sleepy! 8pm - usually asleep. Some nights it takes a while to settle him as he wants me to rock him to sleep, but we’re trying to get him used to my husband settling him at night so I can be able to go out on some occasions. He sleeps till around 5am, wakes to be breastfed and goes back to sleep for another 1-2hours x
