Oh god, I soooo remember those days. I will be of no use to you, as we never really night weaned until we weaned (which actually went very smoothly). TBH, between 9 and 13 months things were very difficult. Lots of night waking, terrible day sleeping, and plenty of crying. But things picked up a bit once he was 1, and although he still fed at night it was somehow easier to deal with.

I will reassure you that although not every baby does it, it is very normal. For whatever reason your DD feels the need to be close to you through the night......cute! I was quite resentful of it myself, but did not have the energy to go through with actually trying to night wean (which I'm pretty sure would have been unsuccessful for DS). When we discovered his intolerances, and subsequently changed his diet, he slept alot better and didn't feed quite so much during the night. I was so relieved I hadn't forced him to night wean, he obviously needed that comfort.

Not at all saying that your DD has those problems, just that sometimes the reason for their need doesn't become obvious until down the track. But it's a hard balance......you need to be a functioning mum. I'm not too sure how to help you.........sometimes all we need to hear is that it will get better!!! (LOL, I know you know that!). But sometimes we genuinely need a plan of action to try and improve things. It sounds as though you don't really want to actively night wean her right now......is that right?

Just trying to understand so I can help you better hun
