Middle of the night paci replug

How do you deal with this?  LO sleeps in his crib, in the room next to ours.  He'll fuss in the middle of the night, but he's not really awake.  If I put his paci in his mouth, he'll settle back down and go back to sleep.  If I don't, he wakes up and then I have to put a bunch of effort into getting him back to sleep.  Either way, I'm waking up...  I'm so sleep deprived at this point that I'm used to it, but if there is a magical way to make it stop, I'd really like to know about it.

Re: Middle of the night paci replug

  • ds has been doing the same thing!  Last night it was every hour starting at 1230.  He used to sleep right through, now never!  That damn binky!

     

    I havent figured out what to do.

  • Nate does this too. ?I think we may just have to deal with it until we do Ferber and get him to not have that sleep association any more. : (
  • I did ferber recently and took the paci away.  She sttn now.

    It sucked to put her down without it for the first couple of times, but it's so much better than getting up multiple times a night to replace the paci.

  • even though it takes a little longer once i put him down, i stay by his crib for a few minutes until he reaches the point of sleep where he lets the paci fall out of his mouth....i dont let it fall though, instead i gently and slowly pull it away from his mouth and put it in the top corner of his crib.  i think it is the falling out quickly that wakes him up and it landing right on the side of his head.....it takes a little more time but it guarentees that he will sttn. GL!
  • my DS only gets his paci during naptime for that exact reason. I can rock him to sleep just fine at night without his paci, it just takes a little longer and then he STTN without it instead of having to replug it all nigth.
  • I haven't bought one yet but I just saw this in Parent Talk Magazine yesterday. https://www.wubbanub.com/wubbanub-pacifiers.html Found them on Ebay for $12. It's worth a try!
  • My daughter did this too...so we started to put her on her tummy to sleep and that way the pacifier would stay put, and she actually ended up sleeping better, she hated sleeping on her back.
