Nighttime dummy

[Amy5261]

Hello,
My 4 month old baby has settled into a lovely night time routine - bathed and bed for 8pm and waking up for a feed somewhere between 4-6am

However, in between these times he wakes up at least twice and settles immediately back down as soon as I put his dummy in. At the moment this is fine as he is sleeping in with us so I can literally lean over and give it to him, however when he moves into his own room in a couple of months his nursery is on a different floor to our bedroom, so I don’t really want to be going downstairs 2/3 times a night just to put in his dummy!

Any ideas for how to wean him off needing it during the night?

Thanks!

Get the glow in the dark ones, he'll soon learn to pop it back in himself.
It's annoying at first but they get the hang of it

He would have learnt to put it his dummy back in, in a few months time.

At 5/6 months old my son learnt to put his dummy back in himself. I scatter 4 about the cot at bedtime now so he can always find one easily in the night.

Ah lovely, fingers crossed he will learn to do the same in the next couple of months then - I will stop worrying that I need to get him off it! Thank you

He will eventually be able to find it himself. My baby was around 1 when he started to do it himself of a night and I'd use the glow in the dark ones and also place two in the cot so more chance of finding one! If he uses a dummie of a daytime pass it to his hand when he wants it so he gets use to putting it in his mouth himself. I used to have this worry but my son actually pushes his dummie away at times or takes it off me and throws it 😂🙈 some nights he will use it some nights he won't but there's one there incase he does.
