I cant rock my baby sleep anymore. While she is 3-5 months she is ok we rock her and sing to her to sleep. She is 9 month old now and not using pacifier. Every night I must need to latch her until sleep. Few times wake up in the midnight I need to latch her also. Keep waking up at night is not good for development too. I tried to rock her sleep but she will be fussy and need to latch. If my hubby rock her she will wake up and look for me even in the midnight. Too tiring! help!

she has the ability to self soothe using her thumb or finger to sleep but she doesn't know that because you have not start her on sleep training. pacifier is a sleep prop, once it drops off she may wake up in the middle of the night again and you need to put it on for her. I think we have to move beyond the notion of comfort latching in view of sleep disruption for our little ones. they really need the sleep for proper development after 6 months old. at 9 months old, they don't need night feedings anymore. my boy stopped night feedings after 4 months old and he is gaining weight.
