Dummy usage 6 months old

[carolweir]

Hello all
My 6m2wk DD uses a dummy to settle herself to sleep for all naps, and evening sleep before 10pm feed. She doesn't go to sleep after this feed with the dummy.
We have just introduced solids in the last 2 weeks.
She is waking up from around 2am onwards, and could be up to 5 times prior to 7am ish.
The dummy helps settle her back to sleep, but not always.
I also think she is teething!
I am wondering if the night waking is due to not having the dummy, or the teething or the move to solids.
Do you think I should ween her off the dummy? Really unsure what to do as this night waking is having a huge impact on her and me!
Thanks in advance for your advice.

So many variables here OP that could all be contributing. She is probably teething which won't help, but personally I would giver her a dummy at night time. Both of mine had them at night, rarely in the day, and both weaned off them with no problems. I'm a granny now and my granddaughter is given a dummy at nighttime and has a couple of spares in the cot with her so she can grab one to settle herself. My daughter buys the ones that glow in the dark so her little one can find them.

Can I ask is she still having the same amount of milk in a day or dropping some oz while weaning? I noticed my son did this when starting to wean and I was exhausted. To me he was looking for food because he was teething at the same time so he was already getting teething gel or powders so I was ruling that out, then I was trying him with the dummy he would sleep briefly with it then get up. He still now will sometimes wake around 2/3am and I give him 4 or 5oz of milk and he goes to sleep then for another 4/5 hours

Thanks both for your response.

I have looked at getting the Sleepytot which you can attach dummies too.
Not sure if this is a good idea

I have only reduced the milk feed at 11am as per guidelines I have read.

Morning - 180ml
11am - 90ml
2pm - 180ml
6pm - 210ml
10pm - 120ml
I have read not to reduce other milk feeds until solids are established

Solids r currently at 11am and 6pm
