I have a 5 month old who is waking about 6 times a night between 7pm and 5am. She is fully wrapped and uses a dummy. As a bit of history, she had bad colic and reflux as a NB and is on losec. I found the dummy helped with her reflux but is now becoming problematic.

A few months ago she was waking once or twice a night but now she is waking every 1.5-2hrs and is difficult to settle upon waking. She is also up for the day at 5am as I can't leave her to cry because of her sister sleeping next door. Needless to say I'm exhausted! We've increased her Losec but it's not made much difference https://trackeasy.fun/usps/" rel="nofollow - https://trackeasy.fun/usps/ https://showbox.tools/" rel="nofollow - https://showbox.tools/ .

I think she needs weaning off the wrap and or dummy but I'm unsure hat o start with. Seems cruel to take both away at the same time. However the problem is she can't put the dummy back in when wrapped, nor can she self settle without the dummy if wrapped. Has anyone got any tips on where to begin?? TIA!
