Sending a big

I could have written your post myself...except DD has never slept all night, but it did use to be better for us before 8 months also. Yes my DD also used to self settle, but when separation anxiety set in, she needed feeding/rocking to sleep.

I have thought and thought on night weaning, but I cannot stand the crying in the night. DD settles so quickly with a little feed, and tbh I think she still needs it. Sometimes I can actually hear her tummy rumble. Milk is still their primary source of nutrients before 12 months, so it might be worth hanging out until after she's one.

In the meantime you need a holiday. Can you put aside some time over the weekend to sleep? Or can your partner get up with DD each morning for a week so you can sleep in?

You're such a great mum!
