Hi all,
I’m currently on day 4 of trying to wean my 9 month old off the dummy during her nap and bed times as her sleep (and mine) was becoming more and more disrupted with her waking up looking for it until I would go in her room and give to her. She’s only ever had dummy at bed times. Weaning is not going well though and I’m loosing all my patience, feel really cruel and about to give up and just give in!
Everywhere I read they say their babes were weaned off after 2-3 nights but we’re not having any luck. She’s fallen asleep fine at night without it but I think it’s because she’s just so tired at that point! Last night she slept through the night (with one usual dream feed), other 2 nights awake crying for dummy between 4-6am, eventually settling with me by her side patting her back. Naps are the absolute worst though! Either taking 2 hours+ to fall asleep or not falling asleep at all! She’s getting more and more upset as days go on too, not less 
Really don’t want for us both to have gone through all that last few days for nothing. I also can’t do the getting up 3-4 times a night fetching her dummy once I go back to work soon. I just don’t understand what I’m doing wrong!? Could it be she’s just too attached to dummy? Or just not ready developmentally?
NB: Using comforter at bedtime she’s had for months (sometimes nibbles on it but generally doesn’t care for it). She’s not unwell, not teething right now and not going through any other changes / times of transition. When crying for dummy I’m using controlled crying, lullaby music and sitting by her cot shushing her or stroking her back/ tummy. Already tried sprinkling dummies in her cot at night but she’d still want me to put it in 
If anyone has any word of advice, please help a mama out!!
