Pacifier at Nighttime

My LO sleeps through the night and has since he was about three weeks old. However, throughout the night he moves a lot (as all babies do from what I've heard). Sometimes he wakes himself up when he's moving all around though, so I will reach over and put his pacifier in his mouth. When I do, he usually calms down right away and falls back asleep. This works for now because he is still in a bassinet next to our bed, but I am worried about how I will be able to transition him to his Pack N Play and eventually to his crib. I do still swaddle him, so perhaps he would be able to self soothe with his hands if he weren't swaddled. He LOVES his hands during the day. I'm just worried if I'm not right next to him and able to pop in his binky at any given moment he won't be able to fall back asleep. Anyone else have this issue or have any input that might be helpful?

  • Maybe try the swaddle up swaddle? It allows them to self soothe bc their arms are up and close. My LO loves her hands too and we've had really good luck with her sleeping great in it. HTH!!
