Firstly big hugs!

As for the dummy, I don't give it to seth to "shut him up", I give it to him becuase he is comforted by the sucking motion, he sleeps better he's alot happier over all. He also needed it to help with wind, as well as he likes to suck to sleep which he can't do on my boob as I have overactive letdown and he hates it. It certainly hasn't affected our demand feeding as Seth feeds whenever he wants to. He goes on probably hourly - 2 hourly during the day and he won't take the dummy if he wants a feed. I'd say as hard as it is, to wait out the cold. I seriously think that would be the root of your problems right now, as I said in the other thread Seth is the same atm and I would hate for you to introduce something you don't feel comfortable with and then it not really solve anything iykwim? In the end its up to you, I just don't want you to feel you *have* to give him a dummy. And like anything if you do give him a dummy you are in control! Seth isn't "attatched" and neither was Paris. I think that depends on why you give it to them and when iykwim?

Goodluck, if you need to vent you know where I am.

*hugs*
