Thanks everyone.

DD fed last night at one point and had a big drink in the night and that made me realise she must not really be ready for night weaning yet so I won't try it for another few weeks. I am going to wait until she's had her 1st b'day at least anyway. I offered water in a sippy but she wasn't interested in water last night.

That's true about how she still may wake even with night weaning being successful however at least that's half the battle over iykwim? She will just need cuddles to get to sleep rather than feeding....and yes it's mainly me settling DD of a night time.... DH will help if I really need it but he needs his sleep for work.

I know it's pretty common for babies this age to still wake of a night time.... just didn't realise they'd wake so frequently at this age still though! it's a killer.....
DD used to be a great self settler and could put herself back to sleep up until the age of about 8mths!!!
What happened?? She used to be able to sleep up to 8hrs at a time and sometimes even up to 12hrs at a time! (what good nights they were too! ha!) every so often......
so why can't she do that anymore??? Not even once a week?
Do they forget how to self soothe/settle themselves ??

MR - you're so right, I think as our babies get older we sometimes feel like we shouldn't be sleeping in the day hey! I do rest some days.... but she doesn't always sleep that long in the day.
