I'm ashamed to even be writing this, ugh.

My 20m old DD and her sleep is killing me, I'm in her room more times in the night than I am up with 6w old DS. Between the two of them, selfishly my sleep is pretty interrupted.

DD used to be a fab sleeper. STTN by 6m 7pm to 7am for the most part aside from a few changes here and there that went through.

Currently the paci is the root of all evil. I hate it, but appreciate it's usefulness at times. She no longer needs it for the suck, just in her possession. She will suck on it, lose it (falls through crib slats onto floor) and then I have to go in multiple times per night (5-10 on a "normal" night). Previous to late April she would go down without it and without it the entire night. She got sick, we knew #2 was coming and we caved to giving it to her more, I realize that's our fault, but right now she's not getting her best rest because of it.....and neither am I!

I am open to CIO

Do I put crib bumpers in there and then let her fend for hersel finding it, she will throw it the odd time at bedtime when she's pissy though.

Remove crib, mattress on floor?

Convert crib to next stage, she can get in and out and get it herself (not if it falls behind though). I feel nuts just writing that one, she wouldn't be getting it as going back into bed that smoothly, that many times.

What am I missing? What am I doing wrong?

Want to add she goes without paci when not sleeping totally fine with exception to Monday's coming home from daycare (extra tired/fussy) or when teething has been bad.

Daycare is done as of today, hence my timing, I didn't want to eff with her sleep (nap she gets paci) until I was her primary care provider.

Teeth. She's doubled her teeth count in the last 6w, felt this was worth noting, and our appreciation at times for the paci from saving us from the endless whining.

Help!?

That post just feels like a hot mess!
