I've been using this method since my baby was 1 month old. She only can sleep by herself with the pacifier. So, I cannot hold her or rock her to sleep, she gets furious.
My daughter is 4 months old. She is been waking up at different times every night. sometimes twice (around 1 and 4) and sometimes only once (around 4). it is not always the same time. could be between 3 and 4:30 am but when she wakes (between 3 and 4:30) it is hard to get her back to sleep and If she does go back to sleep then wakes every hour. She is not hungry because whe I offer her milk she cries even more, she doesn't even whant to eat any. So, I know she can make it to the night until 6 or 7 am with no problem.
The problem is that at the beginning (been going on for 1 month) I gave her the pacifier right away thinking that whe would go to sleep quick. Now, she won't go back to sleep until I put the pacifier on (sometimes 5 times). I'm so tired!! I need her to learn how to go back to sleep by herself and stay at sleep.
how do I do it? I didn't find anything in the books. The only thing is to brake her of the pacifier which I don't really want to do (I don't want to let her cry that much)
any sugestions?
PS: she is teething now which makes the breaking of the pacifier worst!!!
