I am not against the use of dummies, I used one with my first baby, but every action has a reaction and that is all I was saying in my post

that's just in relation to BFing, dummies are safe for newborns if that's what you meant. You can even get premmie ones! And in some cases it's okay to use them in the early days of BFing, it's just generally not recommended.
just because you can get dummies for premmies does not necessarily mean you should use them, they have a delicate care balance that can be overlooked with artifical pacifiers
In regards to BF and dummies it is generally not recommended at all (but most especially in the first 6weeks) as this impacts on milk supply, attachment issues and undermines a mothers confidence in her intuitive response to her baby

Janie is right that you are Ethan's mummy and that you need to trust your instincts
if the dummy is working for you that is great
