Pop it in at each check. We never sleep trained for motn though so I don't make her cry.. I give her like 1 min to see if she finds the paci herself and if not I just go do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wean-pacifier-from-reflux-baby#post-2141495 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 21:47:23 +0000 Mrs. Deer 2141495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: that happened to me the other day too! So when you sleep trained did you pop the paci back in with each check? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wean-pacifier-from-reflux-baby#post-2141420 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 19:59:29 +0000 Mae 2141420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>gah i wrote this whole post and it got eaten. long story short: 1) sleep training helped teach LO to find her own paci. Apparently its great motivation to figure that skill out; but 2) she still won't (even though she CAN) find her own paci overnight a lot of times... usually 1-6 times... I still just do it for her. At least the wake ups are super fast, and I'd rather just do them than paci wean my reflux baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wean-pacifier-from-reflux-baby#post-2141413 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 19:51:55 +0000 Mrs. Deer 2141413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: thanks! Yeah we have a bunch but she still can't stick one in her mouth right. I with she liked the wubanubs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wean-pacifier-from-reflux-baby#post-2141396 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 19:34:25 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2141396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a reflux mama but definitely had a paci addicted baby. We put many pacis in the crib and still put a few at 2.5 (although they will have to go soon- we're gonna get through the toddler bed transition and potty training first.) I don't know if that would help your lo be able to replace it better or not but I just thought I'd mention it. Another thing we did was keep using the wUbanub because it was bigger for her to grab onto.. Not sure if that helped though. Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wean-pacifier-from-reflux-baby#post-2141377 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 19:22:25 +0000 Mrs. Deer 2141377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi all!</p> <p>I know that pacifiers are soothing for reflux babies, but we're in a pickle! We need to do some sleep training (she's almost 6 months and rolling while swaddled - yikes!) but I don't know what to do about the pacifier. She can't replace it herself even though I've spent the last week "practicing" with her during the day. I hate to take the pacifier away from her since she is still dealing with reflux (no meds, just thickened bottles at this point). I'm worried she's going to be uncomfortable and reflux more without having her paci to suck on at night. At the same time, we're finally getting to a great point with getting into a schedule and having her fall asleep independently (watching her crib aquarium) and I think she'd handle a little sleep training really well. Her extra wake ups each night are just when she's searching for the pacifier. </p> <p>Would love to hear what any other moms of reflux babies think! </p>
