If you leave paci's in the crib at night

nym10/23/2004 · June 2009

DD wakes 1-2x a night but always goes back down with the paci. I think leaving some in the crib could be the answer! How many do you put in there? Is their room pitch dark and they can find their own paci in the dark or is there a nightlight or what?

We have a night light in their room. Sometimes I have to go in and give them one, but I guess other times they find it on their own.

Can't hurt to try.

We just transitioned DD to her crib last week. She's been doing wonderfully, but she still wakes up at least once a night frantic b/c she doesn't have her paci. Someone else said she sprinkles lots of pacis in the crib at night, so I think I'll do the same. I normally just put her to bed with one.

She has a lamp on all night, so she can see when she wakes up.

I usually leave 3. Sometimes 4. She can find it on her own and re-insert. She has a nightlight so that helps. I also have two glow in the dark pacis- the handle glows in the dark so if they sleep better in pitch darkness that would work.

She STTN consistently now. Sometimes I hear her wake up and whine a little but I don't go in and she goes back to sleep. She probably looks for a paci and her lovey and just rolls to a more comfy position.

ETA: I leave that many cause she has a habit of throwing or dropping one out of the crib before she settles down. I put her down drowsy but awake and sometimes she stands up and hangs out for a bit before going to sleep. When she does that usually at least one paci ends up on the floor. I go in and pick it up before I go to bed and wash it off and place it back in the crib.

we don;t leave any inthe bed toher then the one that is in his mouth. We have a night light in there so I can aways find it but in case that I can't I have a drawer with a few extra just in case.

Some nights he goes down with one in his mouth other nights he doesn't need it until later. I usually have 2 or 3 in his crib just in case he loses it. WE have a nightlight in his room that helps though.

We've tried putting 4 or 5 in there, but I don't think it works very well. They usually end up wedged underneath the bumper, or if I take that off they fall through to the floor (making a loud crashing noise that wakes her up).

I've heard of people sewing a bunch of them onto a blanket, but haven't tried that yet.

She ususally goes to bed with one in her mouth. If it falls out she has no problem finding it. We do have a night light on in her room.

I have three or four laying in there... usually ones that are easier for her to find (not clear) because although she has a nightlight, it can still be hard to find a clear one in the dark with her blankies in there. Sometimes she'll wake up crying and I can hear her find her paci and she falls back asleep.

Two. One in the mouth and one extra for just in case.

I leave two plus her lovey. If she can't feel the paci, she'll chew/suck on her blankie instead. Oh, and this morning I found her sucking on her toes while wearing a footed sleeper.

I've watched DD on the video monitor reaching for the pacis. She sometimes feels one that fell out of her mouth b/c it's near her head. I always leave the extra paci to the side below her crib soother. She usually reaches for that spot first. I think they learn where to find them pretty quickly.
