Soother help

Carter only gets his soother at night and during naps. I am thinking I need to take it away from him. He wakes up about every 2 hours through the night, I go in, put his soother in and he goes right back to sleep. But I can't keep going with only getting 2 hours at a time. Mind you I also don't let him cry when he does wake up. I am just so tired. HELP!

I like Amy's suggestion of putting a few in his crib for him to find at night.  I would also let him work it out.  It really s ucks listening to because you feel bad, I am a believer in that it teaches them that they can rely on themselves for things.  

Leighton is also a huge thumb sucker and only took a pacifier for about a month.  So, yeah, in a way it is good because she always has something to soothe her but we too are preparing for braces!  haha

hayden is a thumbsucker, BIG TIME. The plus is - we don't worry about her losing her binky. The downside is, I better plan for braces!

I would let him cry it out and look for it on his own. I guess you could put a few in his crib with him so he could grab around and find one on his own.. :(  Blake gets her own when she drops it or else I couldn't handle it either!
