Hello! 🤍✨ we had to break the habit of feed to sleep.. so giving milk 20/30 minutes before nap/bed time rather than to go to sleep… the naps were definitely easier than through the night.. but a couple of nights of comfort with hand through the cot (rather than picking up, milk, rocking etc) & she got it. ♥️ You’ll get there, just need to commit to it for a wee while to change the routine a bit. Sending lots of love! Xxxx
You could gradually water the milk down to see if that helps
I’m in the same position! I keep going to bed thinking ‘tonight is the night that I stick to it and don’t give in’ but I’m just so tired that I always give her milk as she’ll scream and scream, even when I hold her to soother her. I also just think it’s comfort as appose to hunger. I’m going to commit to cold turkey next week!
@Saskia yes! I am exactly the same! I think i will book a couple of days holiday from work so I can catch up on sleep if needed and go cold turkey 🤣
@Maggie I think it’s the only way to do it tbh! I’ve seen people say it’ll be 3-4 nights of hell and then it’ll be over!🤣
I don't bottle feed, but if if was me I would try to gradually give less and if it isn't working, try cold turkey x
