6 month old waking up for paci
« on: October 18, 2014, 00:16:55 am »
Hi I'm new to this forum. But I need help!!
My little one has been on easy since 2 .5 month she has occasion given me full night sleep or for that matter 5 hrs stretches. Now lately she's constantly waking up at all random hours I go in and give her her paci I stay in there until it falls out but she ends up waking up after 1-2 hour and lately aft 10-15 min. ;( especially from 4-6 am.

I want to get her off the paci as she tends to play with it outing in and out of her mouth. Sometime she won't even need it to fall asleep. But I made it part of her routine. As I give it to her as soon as I put her down.
Oh and can I add her morning nap is only 45 min second 1.5 and sometime 2hrs

I guess my question is what can I do to help her go back to sleep with out the paci. And help her go back to a deep sleep.

She is 6 month 1 week 19.7 lbs and has been on solid since 5 month.

Sorry no one has been able to offer a suggestion yet!  Though my LO never took a pacifier, I know a lot of moms here just drop the pacifier cold turkey.  TBH, if she doesn't seem to need it all the time, it may not be a difficult habit to break and you could replace it with a story or a song to ease her to drowsiness.  Have you tried Shh-Pat or PU/PD?  Both are great at helping babies go back to sleep independently, while you're still present to support them.
I might also suggest pushing her morning A time to 3 hrs.  It looks like her other A times are the same and that morning nap is the shortest, you might find an extra 15-30 minutes is enough to help her sleep for another 45mins.

Average A times- BOOKMARK ME!!
