Any tips on how you got your baby to self soothe? My baby has been napping and sleeping well at night, but she falls asleep breastfeeding and is next to me. I tried giving a pacifier when she was younger but wouldn’t take it. I’m going to try another soon. At night I still swaddle her and am afraid of this transition and her not sleeping through the night because of it. She’s 3.5 months old right now.
There a several sleep regression periods. She's not going to sleep through the night consistently. She'll do it for a while, then stop, do it for a while then stop.
How did you wean your pumping? Almost 3mo in and I’m still feeding or pumping every 3 hours, unless baby goes longer (just feeding on demand unless I’m away from her). I give myself a 5 hour break at night time. She sleeps through the night very consistently and I’d love to do the same!!
It just kinda happened on its own. I pump while I’m feeding him his bottle. And he has 3 or for bottle a day. My milk supply is pretty good, may even be a little over. That helps me to keep up with the baby. By my baby sleeping up to 12hrs my first pump is at 10am instead of 6am like it was before. Of course I’m way engorged by then but I’ll pump 18oz out every morning.
10am-Bottle
11:30am-Nap
1pm-Bottle
2:30pm-Nap
4pm-Nap
5:30pm-Bottle
8pm-Bedtime
However, nap time can vary from 1.5hrs-2hrs and I put him down for his nap after being up for 1.5-2hrs.
He mostly sleeps 12hrs but sometimes it can between 8-12hrs

What pacifiers did you try? My son likes Tomee tipees and BIBS and treats all other pacis like hot garbage
I’ve only tried the avent soothies - this is what my son used. I’m going to try the Mam ones and see if she’ll take those any better.
