13 week old needs resettling a lot

My 13 week old wakes briefly a lot during the night. She's formula fed and has one feed during the night. I want to know how to stop the constant resettlings if anyone has any tips that would be appreciated. Last night was typical:

6.30pm bottle, change, white noise
6.50pm put to sleep without dummy
7.10pm woke up crying and was given dummy, went to sleep
10.30pm woke up was given dummy and went back to sleep- same happened every 90 mins until 2.30am when she had her bottle
3.30am back to sleep in her next to me cot- then cried for dummy every hour until up at 6am

We have tried putting her down without the dummy but she cries for it and won't settle without it. She used to be ok without it until about 3 weeks ago. Any ideas of how I can get her to sleep soundly?

Just a thought but we used to give our twins a dream feed at 10pm to help them through the night. So 7pm feed and bedtime then nappies and feed at 10pm. If she is waking so often she could be peckish?

Thanks for the reply I'm not sure as she goes back to sleep quickly with the dummy so don't think she's hungry.

I second the dream feed. It kept mine from 11 to 7 in morning. Could be a spurt though aswell and just needing extra comfort.

I think I would try weaning her off the dummy as that’s what seems to be waking her. I’m not sure how you would do that but hopefully someone who’s done it will be able to advise.

Definitely try and ditch the dummy if you can.
