Hi Emma, My son had a dummy until about 8 months old. We took it off him as he too would wake 8-10 times a night for me to put it back in. He is now 16 months old and still wakes through the night. We are still giving him a bottle o/n and he goes straight back to sleep until morning. I know all the books and CHN say they don't need o/n feeds but I'm expecting #2 in November and its easier for us to get up once feed him change his nappy and be back in bed. It only takes 15-20 minutes and everyone's happy. Do what works for you and not what books or professionals say. If your little one needs a feed then I say let her have it, it won't last forever, the night sleeps will come. Ewan sleeps through now from 7.30pm to 6-7am a few times a week so we are making progress and neither he nor I are hysterical and sleepless through the night.
