I'm breastfeeding my 6 week old baby and he takes the paciifier sometimes, but never at bedtime, usually just when he's cranky. But every night, like clockwork, he will wake up between 3-4 am and scream and cry, not take the pacifier, refuse to be soothed by laying tummy to my chest, which usually works. The only way to calm him is to put him on the breast, and he's not hungry because he will fall asleep in a matter of 3 minutes and not suck as if he wanted food. He will continue to do this every hour for the rest of the night. What should I do how do I stop him from using me as a pacifier?! And does anyone know why he wakes up continuously after 3 am? Maybe he thinks nighttime is over? LOL I am exhausted!
