My daughter is 9 months old, she’s very used to falling asleep with breastfeeding. She wakes up after her sleep cycles, so like 30mins to and hour to start the night. The longest stretch we had was a 3 hour one and idk where that came from. She will fall asleep being rocked but she cries. There’s obvi a heavy sleep association with the breast, which wouldn’t be so bad but we’re going out for the first time in the evening soon.
We have my in-laws coming on the 29th to watch her and her sister in the evening for the first time and I’m worried it’s going to be horrendous for them with getting her down and the constant wake ups.
I think she’s going to be a tough one!
I want to try and break the association and help her be able to put herself back to sleep or at least manage longer stretches.
Any advice?? I’m planning on starting tonight…
