Baby gal randomly wakes up in her sleep with eyes closed but as soon as we put the pacifier in her mouth, she goes back to sleep

Hello! I’m assuming you mean she cries when she wakes with her eyes closed? Your daughter may have learnt to associate the pacifier with sleep, and therefore uses it to soothe herself to sleep. Depending on how you feel about the use of a pacifier and whether she is able to reach out for a pacifier independently, you could place her pacifier within her reach in her cot. However expect some resistance (i.e. crying) if you do intend to let her try this, as she would need time to learn to obtain her pacifier instead of expecting it to be placed in her mouth. You could start by guiding her hand to the pacifier in the initial stages and gradually decreasing support as necessary.
