Hey welcome to bub hub

Maybe try and push her cot up next to your bed take the side rail off then at least your their still but shes got her own space?

well done on feeding her for so long too thats awesome

yes i have done well with breastfeeding but dont know how long i can keep it up for now that she has 6 teeth and has learnt to bite lol i shall try that tonight with the bed hopefully it will work crossing fingers i really need a decent sleep

I have a 9mnth old but we co sleep so i don't have any advice for that but..... When your dd bites take her off and say firmly "NO" this will get her to stop. Don't jump (I know it's very hard). She will eventually stop biting I know because I have had 3 that liked to have a chomp here and there. It's great your breastfeeding

I am dreading my bubs top teeth for that reason fingers crossed they dont come anytime soon!

It might help if you are happy to have her next to you at least then you can sleep and feed i did it with my oldest three, all i seemed to care about was a good nights sleep and it worked and kept the peace

Another thing you could dry, maybe its too dark or too quiet, you could keep a dim light on or put a tshirt that you have been wearing in her bed? just tuck it in tight

Good luck, i am sure a few others will have some advice that might work

hi
we were in the same situation with our ds when he was that age. i had finished breastfeeding but was still co sleeping if he woke at night.
we used many techniques but im not sure which one ended up working
because he was waking when we went to bed we figured he must have liked the background noise, try to continue that, we had a old radio we would put on for him.
then we also tried not feeding him milk and just offering water so he would think it wasnt worth waking up.
then we tried controlled crying
then we tried multiple dummies in the cot
then we realised he was teething at one point so gave up until that was over about 6 weeks as he had teeth moving in his gums first before getting the teeth.
he know sleeps throu from 6.30 to 6.30 im not sure what did it in the end but one night he just didnt wake up during the night.
i wouldnt worry about him sleeping with you, they wont be babies for ever!! mine is 17months and he is welcome in our bed if wakes for any reason
