I too know how exausting it is my daughter is only drinking breastmilk no formula and she still wakes up anywhere from 3 to 5 or 6 times a night she seems to wake up more now that she has her teeth comming through the gums :( poor thing I dont know if your daughter is teething but that may be the cause of her waking up to eat so many times in the middle of the night that is what i have found has been happening you may also try infant tylenol or baby ambesol or even the teething tables i found my daughter sleeps better when she is comfortable after taking tylenol and not in pain :) just some suggestions

My daughter was picky she wouldnt drink water out of her bottle but she likes it in a sippy cup and i had a hard time finding a bottle she liked cause she always just breastfeeds but you can try a soothie bottle if you havent already my daughter tends to like that bottle the best :) and she drinks only breastmilk from the soothie bottle she wont drink out of other bottles

We've tried... She'll have her cereal in the day but at night, it's just exhausting that she wants to drink from me every 3-4 hours..

as a big advocate for breast feeding, i wouldn't stop bf her , the best way might be to ask somone else to give it a try. She obviously wants mommy milk, but if you're not there, it may make her a little more inclined to try. my daughter will not take a bottle, but is slowly getting used to a beaker with a spout, are you offering her expressed milk or formula? my daughter will drink enough ebm to sustain her if i'm at work, but screams the place down if i try to give her formula, and i have tried a few.

you just have to keep trying it will happen, just stay strong and refuse to give her the breast. She'll take it when shes hungry enough.
