I am weaning my 6 m/o DD from her dummy in the hopes that it will help her sleep longer during the night.

I have started with the day sleeps and after a little bit of a whinge (maybe 2-5 minutes) she will go off to sleep.....my problem is that now there is no dummy she is only sleeping for the one sleep cycle...ie 40mins...and can't resettle herself to sleep longer without her dummy. I have tried to go in and resettle her with the patting and rocking in her cot but she just gets cranky and then any hope of her going back to sleep is lost even with picking her up and rocking.

Are there any other methods I could try?? She has a sleep teddy with her for comfort....

Any ideas would be very much appreciated...
