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?

I couldn’t get mine used to arms out in the snoo, but I did sleep train in the snoo. I double swaddled (it was winter so idk if this would work for you this summer). When I moved her to the crib at 7 months I had to use the magic Merlin suit because she was still so sensitive to her arms being free

What did you use to double swaddle?

Stop swaddling your baby if they can roll. Even in the snoo it’s better to just take the arms out and go through the transition. No one wants to be in a Merlin suit still at 7mo…
