attaching a dummy at night???

[Smurfette]

Just wanted to see who and how people attach dummies at night. I know you shouldn't do this and maybe no-one does but Olivia who is 6 and 1/2 months is waking way to often during the night for her dummy. I am sleep deprived for the first time since she was born and I DON'T LIKE IT.
Can anyone give me any suggestions? I have toyed with the idea of weaning her off it, but it is a source of comfort for her and so not to eager to take it off her altogether.

I dont attach because of the risks but i guess im lucky in that bubs actually spits his out after he falls asleep & its only every now & then that he cries for it to be put back in if he cant find it.
My mum taught my sister to find hers so she ended up being a master apparently searching for it while sound asleep LOL !
You could try weaning her off if its becoming too hard with her waking etc & use another comfort item like a blanket or toy ?
Im considering this myself as bubs doesnt really use his all that much so i think its sorta silly IYKWIM.

I'ts so funny. I just went into check on Olivia, as she was grizzling ( still) and she was on her tummy scambling for one of her dummies. It was quite cute. I don't normally put her on her tummy, but she seems okay with it, and yes I am trying to teach her how to find her dummy. Seems she is working it out. :fingerscrossed:

I need sleep.:sleeping: :banghead:

our last dummy was in 1996 when our first was born
we got rid of the dummy as it was getting so crazy :eek: we would lose one everywhere and we even got a glow in the dark one , but our next girl we had she did not want to have it and that was great for us , she would just like a rub on the back while she was in the cot and she would fall asleep again we were very lucky.

Hi Liams mummy, I have tried doing that, but she still struggles. How old was he when he was able to find them. I really don't want to take away the dummy.
