8 month old back to feeding all evening?

My 8 month old baby is refusing all solids (I've tried everything) and for the last month has reverted back to feeding for 3 hours without a break in the evening and then 3 -4 times over night. My trouble is I have a 2 year old as well and I need evenings to do the housework and get ready for the morning as I can't do anything when they are both awake! My baby is literally feeding for those 3 hours not comforting (if I remove her at any point my milk sprays and she screams). At first I thought it was a growth spurt but after a month I've had enough. Is there anything I can do? Or is it a case of live in chaos until she finally weans and needs less milk?

Is she teething? My DD brought several teeth in at once around 7-8mo and this resulted in constant nursing. Nursing is comforting, offers counter-pressure on sore gums and breastmilk contains natural pain-relieving properties.

Otherwise it may be the 9mo sleep regression early.
