Dummy/pacifier advice

In need of some advice!

We’ve tried everything to get our baby to self sooth to sleep (she’s approaching 7 months old). A dummy is the only thing that works, and it works within seconds!!! The dummy has led to great naps and overnight sleep and as a result, a well rested, happy baby (finally)!!!

The problem is that she is waking a couple of times overnight, needing us to replace her dummy. I’ve tried weaning her back off the dummy but her naps/sleep is suffering once again as a result.

Would love any advice/strategies that have worked for to either;

1. Get rid of the dummy by using a different self soothing trick

2. Conquer the waking to replace the dummy overnight

Just to be clear, we don’t have an issue with using a dummy for sleep, just an issue with waking to replace it!

Thanks for your time!!
