Baby addicted to continuous breastfeeding during nights.

Yes! You read it right. My almost 8 months old is “addicted” to continuous breastfeeding at nights. The longest I have gone without him breastfeeding at night is 2 hours. Most of the times its every 15 mins, 20 mins, half an hour(you can never know). He would just wake up(wont even open his eyes) and cry endlessly until I feed him. Nothing else ever works. Tried rocking, humming and soothing him any other way but nothing else works. This has been going on since he turned 4 months old.

We have been co sleeping since he was born. I have recently got him a crib, but its a lot of effort to nurse him and put him down in the crib, only to find him crying half an hour later looking to breastfeed.

I am so sleep deprived and it has been very difficult for me to work during the day. My husband tries to help, but the baby will just not be soothed by him. He would start crying harder until he gets to nurse. I am not big on the sleep training(crying it out method) but I am also starting to lose it.

Please helppppppp!!!!
