i have 2 sleep related issues i need help with

So we have given up the swaddle and it's going pretty well, but DD still has a hard time settling herself to sleep w/o it. She gets distracted by her feet and often brings them up in the air and plays with them. She's rolling onto her belly too and she can sleep o her belly but sometimes she gets frustrated too. So here are my issues :

1. I find myself rocking her to sleep for naps/bed a lot more lately and I don't want to get into that habit.

2. She goes to sleep with a pacifier in her mouth but for some reason she always pulls it out of her mouth, but then she cries because she wants it and can't get it back in herself yet.

Need some advice please :) DD will be 5 mths on Monday.

DD broke out of her swaddle a little before 5 months so we put her in a sleep sack after that. That helped control her feet a bit. And then she also would wake up when she lost her pacifier. I would just get up and pop it back in. The dr also told us to put a bunch of pacifiers in her crib so she could try to roll and grab for one. It's a phase and she will grow out of it. I know that's not too helpful though when you're exhausted!

well she cant get them back in herself yet so that's part of the problem and i do put it back in but it falls out seconds later so i literally have to stand over the crib then just to keep popping it back in. anyone else have any tips??
