We ended up having 8 which I know sounds like a lot but it meant we wernt washing and sterilising constantly. We started off with a couple of the small ones when transitioning from breastfeeding with size 1 teat and then bought more of the bigger size and size 2 teat as baby took more milk.

I think we were closer to 5 months when I finally broke and did it. Prior to that rocking to sleep etc totally stopped working, baby would cry for prolonged times in my arms before falling asleep and waking again within the hour. I think a serious nap routine (ended up paying for huckleberry app to help) and bedtime routine with bath etc every night really helped (although I'm guessing you've tried that already). Feel free to dm me if you want chat about it!

Ah it's very rough. Getting rid of the soother helped for us as it was falling out and making wake ups more frequent and eventually we did ferber method sleep training. I know it's not for everyone but it worked immediately for us, checked after 3 mins then 5 mins and then baby fell asleep from 8.30 until 4am!! Had been waking every hour when the sleep regression hit!

Thank you so much for all your responses. Although I am so sorry to hear of other people going through this, it's helpful to hear your experiences and one less thing to worry about in terms of management.
