The Big Sleep Party

My gorgeous little girl is still not sleeping through the night at seven months. She wakes six to eight times each night, usually feeding herself back to sleep in a few minutes. She has a full feed from me between five and six am, but really, she doesn't need to feed during the rest of the night and it seems to be a habit of waking that she has got into. I have been happy to do the night feeds, and glad that they have been relatively easy, but I'm now exhausted from lack of sleep. So, Mr. Maybe and I have decided that it is time to night wean and we've picked this weekend, as its a bank holiday, so we'll have Monday too. I am going to go and sleep in the spare and enjoy sweet, unbroken, restful sleep for a whole eight hours or so. Mr Maybe is going to stay with our little lady and comfort her and (hopefully) get her back to sleep during the night without feeding. He's very good at it and I know she'll be in safe hands, so I am going to let them get on with it. I am practically dancing at the thought of eight hours sleep, uninterupted. I am counting down the hours in gleeful anticipation until tomorrow night!

Clicked through from Moxie, and I'm dying to know how this went. Is she sleeping? (Asked as the mother of a profoundly non-sleeping-through-the-night six-month-old.)
