3 month old regression / what should or shouldn't I be doing?

[AllAbitCrazy]

Hello all

I have seen some conflicting advice regarding what to do during the sleep regression. I've read that now is the time to take away the dummy, move them into a cot if they're in a moses basket, take away the swaddle (we don't swaddle anyway) etc

Then I read something different that said now is not the time to be taking away the dummy, let them have it, keep everything the same i.e. routines/feeding

Could I please ask what you did during the growth spurt/regression? Anything I should or shouldn't be doing to help?

To be honest I did absolutely anything I could to get by. Didn’t worry about taking away dummies etc can think about that later. Sleep regression’s are pure survival 😂
My little girl is now 16 months - has slept through since 6 months old dummy free and self soothes.. for now!

Yeah I would agree and keep routines in place for now... just ride it out, it might be over sooner than you think and then you can think about making changes once things are settled again!

Thank you both! I will keep things the same for now and worry about taking the dummy away later! I appreciate the advice :)

Ride it out! Whatever gets you the most sleep. It’s hard enough as it is, and they do get over it.
I’ve spent so much time googling sleep and the internet is full of awful advice, particularly from sleep consultants looking to charge you £500 when you’re feeling weak and sleep deprived. Try to go with your gut, and your baby, and don’t compare them to other babies! My NCT friends all now have their babies sleeping through except mine (hes 8.5 months), but that’s just who he is and he’s ‘easier’ in other ways than sleep (smiliest baby by far for example!).

Thank you @Onelittleone216 I agree I have felt so desperate and even considered a sleep consultant, until I saw the cost lol! Thank you for the advice, I will go with my gut and let things be. Just need to remind myself it's a phase!
