Sucking to sleep

My baby nowadays like to suck to sleep, either his hands or when we are carrying him he would suck our arms. During the night his hands are in the swaddle and he start sucking our hands which we want to stop. He refuses pacifier as well, is there any parents who face this issue & has any recommendation?

Mine used to be just like yours too! He sucks on everyting, even my shoulders when i carried him upright. He didnt want pacifier initially, but i didnt give up and offered him until he accepts it now. At least he can depend on the pacifier to soothe himself now. I will slowly remove it once he is asleep. Sometimes, it will fall off his mouth naturally if he is dead tired and in deep sleep. Just keep on trying with the pacifier. Personally i stick to the same one and didnt change to other types/brands, so that he wont build any preferance and i just teach him to stick to one.
