    You didn't break her!

    Sleeping issues happen, unfortunately for us Mums...it WILL pass...even though it probably feels like it will go on forever!

    you didn't break her
    As others have said - it's normal, probably developmental - what happens here with us is, we get past it & I think 'phew' ....and then a couple of weeks, or maybe a month later...it's all on again
    Also at around 9 months separation anxiety kicks in (or can become more of an issue)

    So you can try -
    - cuddling her for a bit longer after she drops off to sleep
    - letting her self settle, maybe stay in the room with her until she drops off to sleep
    - co-sleeping if it's an option? even just for a couple of nights to get some sleep.

    I usually try anything & everything, eventually something works (eg right now we are co-sleeping but the other day she self-settled in her cot)- sorry that's not much help I know, but just know it's normal & will pass
