jsmum i have an 8 week old with acid reflux also. i was also told a dummy might help. she doesnt like the dummy very much either and continuously rejects or spits it out. i have tried a few different ones...tommy tippee cherry shape , nuk orthodontic, tommee tippee soother, heinz baby basics. i found the heinz one works the best although she does spit it out still..

nuk was useless and just kept falling out when she was trying to suck it
tommy tippee cherry 0 months was making her gag
tommy tippee soother no good either.

my first girl loves the tommy tippee cherry dummy and took to it straight away.
i guess every baby is different and im not sure if Bf or FF makes a difference..
my first was FF (formula fed) and loved the dummy
my second started of breast fed and doesnt like the dummy.

i must say the dummy for me was fantastic!!! really soothed a crying baby which at the time is all you want to do. Savanna is 18 months now and only has the dummy to put her to sleep then she spits it out and continues to sleep so no problem there. initially in the begining when the dummy fell out she would wake and cry for it..

giving your child a dummy is a personal choice and you only should do what works for you and what you want to do.
i was against it before savanna was born.. but like everything in life you shouldnt judge unless your in the situation.
