Can someone explain self settling to me please?

DD is 18 weeks and has woken every two hours for the past two months. This past week she's been waking every hour. I am a zombie.

But I think I should be trying to teach her to self settle. I never taught it with my first and he was a shit sleeper for 18 months. I want to foster better habits this time.

But I am so tired I don't know what I'm doing, so can someone walk me through it?

Atm every time she wakes at night I feed to sleep and she's back asleep within 5 mins. But I don't think she's all that hungry tbh since she's just fed an hour before. And during the day she goes 2.5 hrs between feeds.

Sometimes in a fit of determination I try to settle her back down with the dummy but she just thrashes around and eventually I give in and give her the boob and she's out like a light.

So I honestly don't know how else to do it? Can someone talk me through the process during a full night?
