Justine, I'm not sure whether I can help. My DD went through a similar stage From around about the same age. I find that at this age they seem to get a little unsettled as their worlds are rapidly expanding, they learn to crawl or even walk. So many things are happening, who has time to sleep?

One thing you could try is to "trick her". Rather than going through the satges, jump straigt to the last step. I found that sometimes it was best to go to my "surefire" method of feeding her back to sleep, rather than letting her "wake up" more and more while trying to settle her without the boob.

On the other hand, I know too well the utter frustration and helplessness you feel when your "surefire" method doesn't work.

On those nights, remember: This too shall pass.

All the best,
Saša
