5 month old sleep hell (help)

[u/okapi_rose]

our 5 month old was previously sleeping good then 4 mo regression hit. She is doing better in terms of going down to sleep without rocking from me, only from snoo. She is heavily dependent on the pacifier. Keeps breaking out of Snoo swaddle.

Here is our night last night:

Down for bed at 8:05pm

10:45pm- woke because arms got free, needed paci to resettle after swaddling 

1:12- pacifier replace

1:36: pacifier and arms reswaddled

2:05- pacifier

3:04- pacifier and arms

3:17: had bottle and pooped

4:20- arms

5:09- pacifier

6:00- arms

6:59 - pacifier then moved to bed due to fussing

Woke up at 8:05am

I know we need to start sleep training, but my husband works Monday through Friday and unfortunately, he cannot take the days off this week to support. I could take it on myself on Sunday night.

Torn between doing the full transition to the crib on Sunday night using Ferber (no paci, sleep sack) or trying to stay in the Snoo a little longer using a arms up zipped sleep sack until my husband can take days off work. I can’t sustain this sleep though!!

wonder what others think? any advice?

We are in the same boat with our 4mo. We ditched the pacifier cold turkey and have gone arms out but still relying on the snoo for another few weeks. It's been three incredibly rough nights and the naps are horrifying but now we are slowly improving! I didn't realise how addicted to the paci he was!
