My 8 month old DD has refused a dummy since birth never really a problem as she used to be a great sleeper (waking once a night for feed) until she hit around 6 months she wakes up multiple times throughout the night cannot self soothe or be rocked back to sleep just wants boob for comfort and falls back to sleep after a few minuites. This happens around 4/5 times every night and I’m exhausted.
I have read that seperation anxiety can happen around this age and she is extremely clingy with me at the moment. I know it is normal for babies to seek comfort from their mother but I am struggling with lack of sleep we now co sleep because I’m too tired to keep putting her back in the cot.
Just wondering if anyone else went through this and if it’s just a phase or any tips I can try!
