Accepted Answer

U Should completely quit breastfeeding because you’re breastfeeding the child which is why your child is behaving like this all the time so it’s a good time after the age of one year to quit breastfeeding any time in the mother is comfortable so quit only then you’ll get relief

Answer

Kids love mother's milk. As she gets it in night she looks upto this and feels urge. Even my daughter used to do same. You can have khas-khas in your meal so if she haves breastmilk she will have more duration sleep.  Also "Jayfal" in milk which you feed her will help regulate sleep.

Our smell at night also causes them to know mother around and urge. Probably you can sleep 1 or 2 feet apart and someone along to still assist around.

Don't let her nap after 5 to 6pm. 
I also suffered and eventually stopped feeling around 1 year 10months as my daughter used to get up twice atleast so I can understand for you its completely sleepless night and it does hamper overall mental being.
