Hi all, first time posting on here! My daughter seems to have hit the dreaded four month sleep regression. She’s 16 weeks old and was sleeping through the night from 12 weeks until about a week ago. Now she wakes several times in the night. She doesn’t appear to be hungry and goes back to sleep with her dummy. All the advice online is quite scary and conflicting, and I’m concerned that her reliance on the dummy will have us stuck in the situation forever.
Some say we should ditch the dummy cold turkey, but that seems so cruel when she finds it so soothing.
Does anyone have any experience of riding out the four month sleep regression with the dummy? Or do I have to find a way to get rid of it?
P.s I’m not sure if it’s relevant, but she’s actually quite good at being put down awake but with her dummy, and she will settle to sleep like that on her own (only at bedtime, not for daytime naps)
