Not sleeping well/ feed to sleep associa
My 1 year old son only sleep by breastfeeding and wakes up every 30-60 min at night. It's been going on since he was 6 months old. It's making my life miserable. I want to stop breastfeeding but due to his feed to sleep association I am not able to do it. Are there any drops or medicine which can help him sleep for longer stretches or any solution to this problem?

It must be troubling but wait .Give Weaning food properly and let his body requirment get fulfilled.NEVER USE MEDICINE TO INDUCE SLEEPING IN BABIES.Monitor his growth and milestone.If all is going well then this will also get normalised.Breast feeding can be continued till baby is 2 year old but give weaning food also.

If problem persistent then contact doctor
