my little girl is 3 and 1/2 months and shes just started having her last feed about 9pm ish, and sleeping through and having next feed about half 6, 7 in the morning, but the trouble i find is about three in the morning she wakes up wanting her dummy or her dummy has fell out and from then on she keeps loosing it evry 15mins or so,until about 5ish when she falls back to sleep until her morning feed, so we are still not getting a proper night sleep, obvisly i know she will wake up now and then but as i say its evry ten mins i have to keep getting up to put the dummy back in, any ideas to get past this so she(and me Grin) gets a good nights sleep, would be apprecaited/? thanks

What does she do if you offer her a feed when she keeps spitting her dummy out?

she knows the difference she just sticks her tounge out so you cant feed her, so you just end up throwing a wole bottle away, its the dummy she likes for comfort :/

i've had this with both my boys - as they got a bit older they would deliberately spit them out to get me back in the room! i did once see a product on another website that got totally flamed - basically a loop of fabric to go round the baby's head to hold the dummy in!!!

either go cold turkey and get rid of the dummy (i tried it, lasted a week before i gave it back!) or stick with it till baby can put the dummy in herself. we use a dummy clip so ds2 eventually worked out how to find it in the middle of the night (recommended by health visitor) but it's going to take a while before baby goes into deeper sleep and doesn't wake up for it as much i'm afraid.

both my boys have comforters as well as dummys and would happily cuddle a comforter or suck on a corner when they were still tiny.

thanks natural baby i didnt think of a dummy clip as its a night mare in darkness to try and find her dummy shes knocked out, yes i think it will be a wile before she works out how to do it for herself...im always worried that them blanket comforters (like a teddy head with a blanket attached,cant think what they are called,lol)will go over her head and suffocate her, i know probably over worrying but its my first baby so bit of a worrierGrin but i think that would settle her more as she would feel something against her face thinking someone stil there, mite try that
