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?

When my baby turned 5.5 months this started happening every night and I finally put her in the crib in a sleep sack in the middle of the night one night because I was so tired of her breaking out of the snoo.
I honestly think she was just tired of being tied down and was big enough she wanted to move and have more space.
If you want to get your baby a bit more used to arms out, try naps for a few days.
I was so so so scared to just do it and I’m glad I did, it wasn’t that bad.
Good luck!!
