Constant night wakening & addicted to hairdryer - HELP!

If anyone has any advice, that would be brill. DD is 6.5 months and for the past 1.5months she has been wakening repeatedly at night. The only thing that has been soothing her back to sleep is the hairdryer! So much so, that sometimes a think it could be her addiction to this noise that is wakening her.

She has had a tough time with teeth over the past few weeks and just got her 1st two teeth. Hooray! So I know that this has been working on her.

Has anyone else had this problem? First DS used hairdryer to go to sleep for a while but he also had a dummy and was soothed with this at night. DD never liked dummy.

Have tried not putting on hairdryer but she just screams till I do. Sometimes in the night, as soon as we turn off hairdryer she wakes IMMEDIATELY! Bought an air purifier to try and simulate noise, but she wasnt fooled.

Fast becoming highly frustrated, tired and feeling like we have lost our will to live!
All suggestions welcome!

We used to use the vacuum cleaner with dd1. Doesn't really solve your problem but would save you putting it round during the day!
Seem to recall it was a short phase. Good luck.
