Baby pulls out dummy then cries about it
My baby is finding a lot of comfort in his dummy lately and often has it to help him fall asleep but recently we’ve had to change his sleeping back to one with his arms out (as he’s rolling) but now his arms are out he constantly pulls out his dummy then cries about it. Any ideas how to teach him to keep it in or what am I meant to do? I’m having to go back into his room several times to put it back in for him to eventually get tired and fall asleep… when he was in a sleeping bag with his arms tucked in before I’d literally lay him down for a nap/sleep and he’d be gone in minutes!!!

Once my daughter had reached this point of pulling her dummy out then crying about it (at roughly 5 months old) we decided it was time to take the dummy away - it took about a week for her to learn to settle without one but it was definitely worth that week of struggles over constantly getting up to replace the dummy
Not saying this is what you should/have to do but that’s how we solved the problem 😅
