My LO is just over 6 months and up until around 5 months she only used a dummy on occasions in the pram. The trouble was the ONLY way she would sleep was being pushed in the pram. I nearly went crazy with this so attempted to transition to the cot before I lost it. The cot would only work with the dummy and as this was preferable to pacing the streets every day I gave in. The trouble is that when she wakes during the night now she will only sleep if the dummy is put back in - we've tried leaving her and she cried on and off with us settling her for 2 hours!! When we initially put her down to sleep she doesn't have the dummy, it's only when she wakes in the middle of the night.
She's now started to wake every 30 mins into her nap because her dummy has fallen out.....arghhhhhhh!!!!!
Can anyone offer any suggestions baring in mind she is a real crier and very hyper, even at the sight of us!!
