My baby is 5 months & still waking throughout the night plus catnapping in the day. Do you think removing the pacifier will help? We rely heavily on it to settle her so taking it off her is a daunting thought. Many thanks KB Hi

He goes to bed at 7pm, then I df him at 10pm but I think it disturbs him as most nights when I pick him up he opens his eyes and looks at me. Then he might wake for his dummy any time between 130am and 330am. Then he wakes for chat or feed anytime from 454am to 530am. Should I feed him this early at 7mths? I thunk maybe the df is disturbing his sleep? I’m not sure to do the dreamfeed for my 7mth old?

I have weaned her to have only 60ml at night feeds and she will settle herself after that. She started waking again at all random hours of the night recently so my health nurse suggested a dreamfeed. i am very weary of this though and when i did it it only worked half the time, we think she is teething but when she wakes in the night and cries she simply will not go back to sleep without her 60ml bottle. when i tried to settle her without it we were up for 3 hours while she screamed. any suggestoins would be fantastic!

She can only fall sleep on her own if she is swaddled up and has a pacifier in her mouth. During the day, I put her in her swing for her naps. She's use to falling asleep w/a pacifier and motion. she spits her pacifier out when she's in her deep sleep. At nite, i place her in her crib at 7pm... swaddled up with a pacifier and she goes to sleep. She's sensitive to any sudden noise from outside and wakeup during the nite...so we place her pacifier back in and she drifts back to sleep. My problem is getting her to sleep through the night b/c she is use to waking up every 3-4 hrs for a bottle. How do i wean her off of nightly feedings, having to be swaddled up and using a pacifier??? My daughter just made 6months.
