Some advice please, my 6 month LO wakes up constantly in the night and can’t self soothe without her dummy. I’m passing it back to her up to 25 times a night and I can’t deal with the broken sleep anymore. She used to sleep through 😩 I want to move her into her own room but I can’t be getting out of bed 25 times a night.
Should I go cold turkey on the dummy? Reduce it through the day? Persevere and hopefully soon she’ll be able to find it and put it back herself?
How can I help her begin to self soothe? At the moment all naps are contact naps, should I be looking at putting her down more often?

I had the same issue with my now 6 month old. I was so exhausted one night that I just decided to not replace it - best thing we ever did he sleeps SO much better!!

I’d say try introduce a replacement- a comforter toy instead and just just go cold turkey with the dummy because the older they get the harder it will be to remove it

Following because the exact same thing happened to me 😭😭 tried to go cold turkey but it was so hard
