Amber - can I hijack your thread??

My bubs is 6 months and I am looking to introduce a dummy as I am currently her human dummy IYKWIM. Any ideas on how to introduce an older baby to the dummy?

We used the Avent ones when L was younger and then Tommee Tippee /Happy Baby ones. We stopped using the Avent as they tended to fall out a lot and as they are made of a hard plastic he would wake with the sound of the plastic ring hitting the shield part. I used to boil L's dummies on the stove but after a while just washed them in the sink in washing liquid.
