Hi ladies,
My dd2 is 5 weeks old
I BW my dd1 and want to BW dd2 also.
We are on a flexible 3 hrous routine and EASY.
Tracy suggests and encourages the pacifier for newborns to settle to sleep and I have been using it along with light pat/shush.
I lay her drowsy in her crib and she goes to sleep easily, she has just started happinly taking the paci, before that she didnt and we had a lot of crying ...and the only thing that soothed her was the breast...
when I first put her in her crib (and after winding her down with the paci) and if the paci falls off, she can manage to fall back asleep by herself with some shuh/patt without paci sometimes but sometimes she starts crying so I put the paci back.
and since she is learning still to sleep, she wakes at the 10mins, 20 or 30 mins and 45mins and I m extending her naps by putting back the pacifier and shushing a bit...
at night she wakes twice btw 2-3am and 4-5 am for a feed... she is usually very sleepy for NWs and cant wake her up unless she needs a diaper change...
with dd1, she started the thumb sucking by 3 months of age so it gave us 3 years of good sleep- ofcourse soon we have to wean her from it...
so I know i m taking the easy way with the paci right? can you please help me tweak the use of the paci so it doesnt become a prop!!!!!!
THANK YOU!
so am i going to regret the paci?
