Just like other moms suggested, breastfeed her while lying down for the sake of your sanity. I did that with all my children. I enjoy good night sleep with no issues.

Here’s what I do.

1: I co sleep. I had to alter our lying position to achieve what I want. I created a space for him close to the wall with the bed frame leaning on the wall.
2: No light. I don’t on my light. I use the light from my tv ( it’s on energy saving mode). I train them to sleep without light once I get home from the hospital.
3: No smile, no play. While changing diaper if need be, I don’t smile, talk or play with my baby at night. I avoid noise and put you back to sleep once i’m through.
4: I follow their cue. As Babies, my children don’t like being covered except if it’s extremely cold. 0 to 3 months, I wear them onesie and overall for bedtime. As they get older, I dress them according to the weather and try to regulate the temperature of the room.
I let them sleep on their tummy. There are babies that’ll keep waking up until you let them sleep on their tummy. Yes, there are natural tummy sleepers even oyibo people know that.
When they are 0 to 15 days, I lie him on his sides. 15 days upward, I lie him on his tummy.

I’v done this with all my children and they start sleeping through the night once I wean them off the breast. I breastfeed while lying down and can say for sure that it’s not difficult to stop.
If my baby is wide awake in the night, I leave him to play alone and continue my sleep. Most times he goes back to bed within minutes and I sometimes use my legs to cross the side so he won’t roll over without my knowledge.
There’s nothing on the bed where he lies and the bedsheets is well tucked in. My room is well ventilated too.

It's not hunger. Just spoilt behaviour, even when they suck, they fall asleep before 5 mins sef

queensnow:
sorry dear I think she get hungry at interval that's why she wakes up maybe if she's fill it would reduce the wake up time. When my son was lil b4 I introduce formula he will wake up at interval, but wen I fed him formula at night he will sleep so well that I would be d one to wake n feed him during d night. maybe u shd try give her formula or cereal at night b4 bed and dat method hunniesuzie mention dey work too but u have to be vigilante so that nipple won't slip make bm no pour for lo nostril or make breast no choke lo nose

hunniesuzie:





Lol, I started doing it when work resumed, my baby was 3 months old. I can confirm that none of those things have ever happened [s]Except of course your boobs are the H cup type in which case I may not have any advice for you[/s] . In fact, my baby is so used to it that before he opens his eyes he first turns his head to either side looking for brezz, then waves his hands in the air trying to touch me, then cries a little bit - all of this with his eyes tightly shut oh! - if that fails then he will open his eyes and look for me/cry

LadySarah:
If you at this stage hace not been breastfeeding while lying down,then you are the real mom.
biko just lie by her side,put the breast in her mouth and off to slumberland.
no child of mine will i sit down to breastfeed at night when i need my precious sleep.I do this from the day of birth.

Jina24:
@Giddyperson, why not try lying down and breastfeeding. That's how I've been doing o since she was two months there about. I can equally sleep while she eats/sleeps.

hunniesuzie:
Lmaooooo welcome to my life. Lie her beside you, pop the bobby out and give her, continue your sleep. At some point you will wake up and see she's asleep, roll over and enter gear 2. This is the only way to function when you need to wake up early for work the next day.

Yes, random aunty judgina about to quote this, I know it would be a hard habit to break...leave it like that, I need my sleep
