Ds2 has just turned 1 and is still waking numerous times. I try to soothe him without bf when I can but sometimes he just wants to suck. He'll often latch on, suck for a bit, fart a few times and then fall asleep again (repeat a couple of times in the night then every 20 minutes from 5am...). It's always worse when he's teething as that really affects his tummy- I can always tell when the teething is really bad as he vomits.
I was wondering if it's worth trying a dummy, if he'll take it. Neither of my boys have had a dummy or sucked their thumbs but ds1 slept ok. I didn't want to give a dummy as I didn't want to have to keep going in to pop it back in, but he needs a lot of help sleeping anyway.
I'm trying to give up bf (he's down to just night and morning now) but it's hard to imagine getting any sleep if I can't feed him back to sleep.
I'm guessing at this age I'd just wash them or do they still need sterilising?
