Formula and crib transition

Hello. I'm struggling here with my soon to be 6 month old daughter! We are so attached to each other but my lack of sleep is catching up to me. She is still EBF and co-sleeping. I love her to death but I need my sanity and sleep back! She still wakes up to eat all night long! Sometimes it can be every hour!! I've been trying to put her in her crib at night but she is not having it. She wakes up and does these crazy twists and turns. I wanted to try and slowly transition her to formula so that I can give it to her in the evening and night. I was hoping to find a good organic formula. Any advice is greatly appreciated:)

First round of Clomid in May 2012= BFP #1, DD born January 2013

This. You are her pacifier. I've been there (with DD#1). Sleep training is definitely appropriate at this point. You can try Motrin too, just to make sure she's not waking up because she's teething and just using you for comfort.
This. Both of my DDs have been FF and have slept horribly. We have also gone through phases where they've woken up every hour. Obviously I am not against FFing since I have done it / am doing it, but switching because you want them to sleep better isn't a reason that's based on any logic in my experience.
DD1, btw, didn't STTN even once until she was 13 months old, and she didn't STTN consistently until she was over 2 years old. And she was FF.
I agree that you may want to look into Ferber, if for no other reason than to understand sleep cycles and to read the part on sleep association so you know what might be going on.
