please help, 8 month old very hard work baby girl is a terrible sleeper, only stopped feeding at 6 months as she is a very hungry baby, fully weened etc. she won't have a dummy and can't find her thumb and WILL NOT settle unless she is sucking my little finger!! she had a terrible cough and the sickness and squits over Christmas, all bugs have gone but the cough still wakes her up a couple of times during the night. she is waking at the moment about every 1.5 - 2 hours and won't go back to sleep until she sucks on my finger, this is extremely draining and putting a massive strain on everything (marriage included) because she just won't sleep and then she is grotty in the day because she is pooped. we have tried a couple of times with control crying but she just gets into such a state (and so do I!) and we have a nearly 5 year old aswell that we don't want waking up. can anybody give me any suggestions please, any advice would be gratefully received!!! thank you.
