Reddit mentions of Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child, 4th Edition: A Step-by-Step Program for a Good Night's Sleep

She's safe, in her crib, in a loving home. She's having a tough adjustment, but she's not irreversibly broken.

What other sleep cues does she have besides the pacifier? Like routine, white noise, stuffed animal? If she just moved to a crib, she might also be adjusting to a new space. Anything else that might be going on, like teething?

We went through a pacifier battle a little younger, after I had to put it back 5 times between midnight and 1AM. She got over it and back to normal in a few days, but at 5 months, your daughter is probably more attached to it than mine was at 2 months.

Is there any difference in cry time or intensity between nights 1 and 10? No experience going from extinction to something else. It sounds odd, but I felt 100x better when I gave her a little pep talk explained to her what was happening before I headed down stairs, not sure if you are already doing that.

If you get truly stuck, I would try Weisbluth's book. It has step by step on all the sleep cues, and there's a section at the end dedicated to problem solving that might help.

Not a trucker, but I did have twin girls 7 years ago.

I worked full time, wife was a stay at home mom. But I still couldn't expect her to take every feeding.

Our girls were born 4 weeks preemie and were on a strict every 3 hours feeding schedule. We did it on the 3's. 3pm, 6pm, 9pm, 12pm, 3am, etc

Typically my wife would hit the sack and I'd take the first feeding, so 9pm. So she could sleep 6 to midnight and at least get a solid 6 hours. Then after I fed the girls (it would take at least an hour because of 2 of them and being fussy premature babies) I'd sleep 10pm until 4:30 when I had to get up to go to work.

It sucked, it was extremely stressful for both of us, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Wear earplugs and get an eye mask. I started wearing an eye mask about a year ago and it makes a massive difference in what you can sleep through. You feel like a dork at first, but its led to much better sleep for me. I no longer wake up every time she gets up to use the bathroom or a truck goes by the house.

I have about a 90 minute commute to work, and there are still times now and then when I have to pull off the road and get some extra sleep. I think that just comes with getting older as well, I just can't do the sleep deprivation as easily as I could before.

I HIGHLY recommend this book - https://www.amazon.com/Healthy-Sleep-Habits-Happy-Child-ebook/dp/B015VACHBS It helped us immensely in getting our girls onto a good sleep schedule as soon as possible.

Once they hit about 3 months, use a needle and a lighter, heat the needle up and widen out the nipple on a bottle a little bit. Mix in some baby cereal or baby oatmeal in with the milk or formula. If using formula, mix it at 1.5x strength, for the before bed feeding as well. The extra calories will knock them out and keep them out a lot longer.

It gets better. My girls have been sleeping 7:30pm to 7:30am since they were around 1 year. At 7, they put themselves to bed at 7:30pm on school nights and my wife gets them up at 6:30 for school.

Check out this book. Saved me many times with my two kids.
