So about two weeks ago i removed my daughter pacifier for bedtime, she just turned 2 recently but honestly this second week of no pacifier is somehow worse than the first week. It takes her about 40 mins to an hour to fall asleep in the bed (i try to be consistent w her bedtime) and sometimes she'll keep reason everytime she sleeps she wakes up 2-3 hours later screaming and crying.
It's so hard to soothe her because she'll keep waking crying and i'll try to give her some water (sometimes it'll help and she'll go back to sleep) but now we're in the second week of no pacifier and it's not helping. she keeps waking up screaming and crying and then goes to sleep then 15 mins later she does it again. it goes on for an hour or two and she FINALLY sleeps around 12am then wakes up as if nothing happened fully happy.
i'm losing my mind i cannot handle this screaming and crying match for 1-2 hours from 10pm-12am i genuinely cannot.
In the moment im living with some family so her and i share room (she sleeps separately in her own crib) and i am truly going insane waking up in full panic hearing her screams and cries.
I tried teddy bear as a comfort she didn't care, i tried a blanket and nope. nothing.
i'm going to move to an apartment soon and i'm afraid her doing this is going to cause so much trouble.
it wasn't even this bad when she had her pacifier i truly don't know what else to do, im losing sleep and my own sanity.
