5 month old can't sleep without a pacifier?
My 5 month old daughter recently started sleeping in her crib at night and i find myself going in 6-10 times a night to put her pacifier back in for her because she wakes up screaming. I tried to let her cry herself back to sleep for 15 Min’s and her screaming just escalated, once she got her soother she was out like a light. My sleep is deeply affected by this and I don’t know what to do.
they have those things that clip on to their shirt and they can usually put it in themselves. I wouldn’t worry about it. Call your pediatrician if you want a diff answer.

you can buy soother savers, they are safe clips that you can attach to babies clothes without the risk of them getting tangled up, it won’t be long until she will be able to find it in her crib herself x

First of all, I’m from the U.K so the only thing we call a "pacifier" is a VERY powerful series of handgun haha, so this question tickled me quite a bit. But after a split second realization, I now know what you mean lol.
You have 2 choices really. Either subtly make her lose interest in it over the week (give her something cool, new and interesting every time she wants her dummy or play hardball. Let her know that it;s gone and no amount of crying is going to replace it, at 5 months she will learn to adapt very quickly.
I know it must be hard for you because it’s your fragile, unfathomably precious infant but you it;s in your best interest (and hers) to just break this before it becomes an issue. My mother tells me that when I was a child I didn’t want to start a sippy cup but she played hardball and after a day or 2 I embraced the change. So this type of issue is probably extremely commonplace.
Good luck and remember that infants of all species are capable of rapid adaption.

When I first read the question, I thought you were asking about a 5 YEAR old daughter! I was going to tell you to throw the &$@ thing away!
Yes, you have certainly earned a night’s sleep by five months! Try this if you can stand it: If you KNOW that she’s not hungry or needs to be changed, then just swaddle her up and let her cry. If it doesn’t work, what have you lost?

Some kids really rely on those (mine did), and ya know what - its ok - she will give it up later - but right now you should just worry about her being comforted and "you getting sleep". Maybe you should sleep closer to her "just for now". Sorry I don’t have anything better to say. Good luck.

Welcome to the joys of Motherhood. It will get better. My daughter used a pacifier too and I also found that keeping some soothing lullaby music on very low volume helped her at times too.

My son was a binky user and we had a very hard time getting rid of it. we also used a binky clip to keep his binky close so he could find it and put it back in himself. I feel your pain, My son was almost 3 before we found all of the Bink’s he had hidden throughout the house so we could finally break him from the habit.

My 5 month old is the same way. She gets her pacifier in her crib and in the car (she hates the carseat). If it falls out in the carseat, she *sometimes* can put it back in.
But as for in the crib, once it falls out, there’s no going back in, unless I do it for her.
Now mind you, I’ve watched her as she’s falling asleep in her crib. When she’s juuust on the brink of going to sleep, she actually spits the pacifier out. I’ve tried putting it back in but she clamps her lips shut.
She gets up once through the night, but that’s unrelated to the pacifier, she just wants to feed.
Maybe when she wakes up, it’s out of hunger and not for the pacifier? Sure, once it’s back in her mouth she’s okay, but try feeding her and see how often you’re up with her after that.

This happened to me but by 6 or 7 months they can find it and put it in themselves. I even turn my babies the wrong way in my sleep and she turns it around the right way herself, its too funny!
