Advice on settling baby without my boob

Hi all.

I have a 5 month old and I feel like I have the most whingiest baby unless she’s literally sucking my boob. She’s on food/ purées does take a bottle from time to time but will not settle unless she’s on my boob. I’ve tried what feels like every single dummy out there to soothe her instead of my boob but she won’t take to them. At night I literally sleep/stay sat up with her on my boob or else she screams the whole night. I’ve tried every rocking technique, white noise - unless she’s on my breast the crying just feels like it’s getting louder and louder. Has anyone got any advice for me please to help me out?
Thank you

His long have you persevered with different dummies? Mine wouldn't take to them at first but I was bloody determined because it was getting ridiculous. It hasn't interfered with breastfeeding at all and is a godsend for soothing him and I find giving him the dummy after feeding also helps ease his reflux.

I kept at it, popping it back in when he spat it out. Now he's happy to go between boob and dummy no bother.
