Hi all. Apologies if this is somewhere else on the board. My ds is 6 months old and has silent reflux, so I was using the pacifier to help him sleep at night. Hes on meds now and we're still working out the dosage. Anyways, he wakes every 2 hours at night now and I'm still trying to figure out why. One thing that is consistent is that when I go in to his room, his pacifier is out. Sometimes he goes back to sleep when I put it back in his mouth, othertimes he uses me as his pacifier. I'm not sure if his waking is because he can't find his soother, his reflux or a leap, but it wouldn't hurt to wean him from it regardless. Ironically, he initially wouldn't take a pacifier for the first 3 months until I found a brand he liked. I've tried to introduce him to a lovey and he does like it (just a small crocheted blanket that I slept with for a few nights to get it to smell like me) but he wont sleep unless the damn pacifier is in his mouth (which is why I think I'm bordering on APOPing situation).
Any good tips or could someone point me in the right direction? I've already begun with cutting his awake time with it cold turkey...
