If your LO naps...

You know they are tired and they wake up earlier than they should, do you try to get them back to sleep?

I do...a lot of times I don't need to even take her out of her crib, I just put her pacifier in and she dozes back off on her own.

Curious to see what everyone else says on this. My daughter constantly wakes up after 30 or 45 minutes. If I get her up, she's OK, but clearly still wants to sleep and gets grumpy easily.

So I try to get her back to sleep with the paci and sometimes with an extra snuggle, but I worry I'm just creating a huge paci habit. I feel like she should be able to get back to sleep with something other than a paci shoved in her mouth, but maybe her urge to suck will go away soon.

I use the paci too but usually DD will spit it out after she's asleep and she doesn't wake up or need it again. I put her down at 1:20...she woke up a little before 2...I gave her the paci back and rocked her a few minutes and she's still sleeping now!!! 

How old is your LO?  I am not even going to worry about the paci habit until she's a few months older...I have too many other habits to break!  Swaddling, sleeping in her FP Rock & Play and rocking her to sleep!

Yes. I give her the pacifier and she usually goes right back into dreamland.
