Crying in sleep for dummy

DS was being woken by dp the elephant who can’t cross the room quietly lol so we put him into his own room. He’s almost 6months and has been sleeping fairly well for a while, apparently you don’t notice recorking the baby if you don’t need to stand up.

It’ll sound like a moan that he cried 4 times last night for the dummy but is there a way to get him to either not give a toss about the dummy while he’s asleep (wouldn’t mind if his eyes even cluttered but he was literally sound but crying) or keep the thing in or in reach of him, he’s not the best at putting it in.

During the day he prefers holding it and chewing the shield part if he has it at all, doesn’t take it for naps unless he’s over tired.. generally he’s a great baby doesn’t need a night feed unless he’s having a growth spurt etc

The last hurdle keeping him corked so he’s happy for a full nights sleep.. hit me with the pro tips.

This worked for us - www.sleepytot.co.uk/collections/shop

I gave the bunny (with 4 dummies on it) to my awake daughter when she was 5 months old, to practice getting it into her mouth (- easier when the dummy is attached to something coz it's not possible to get it the wrong way round)

Now she sleeps with the bunny for all her naps and at night time, and I notice that half the time she reaches for him and falls back to sleep as long as she can feel that he's there. Only really needs the dummy in her mouth to fall asleep at the start. If she really wakes herself up, it's very easy for her to feel for the bunny and find one of the 4 dummies to put in her mouth

That’s half his problem he puts it in backwards lol. Ordered one of those to give a bash he likes his comforter blanket during the day so hopefully he takes the same idea.. and thankfully it’s on prime tooGrin
