is it ok?-sleeping with dummy

[bubbles81]

my DD is 2 months now and she loves to sleeep with her dummy in her mouth. We bought the Nuk ones as they have a nice silicone shape but the plastic bit at the front leaves 2 red mark on either side of her mouth-it it ok for her to sleep with the dummy in her mouth the whole night? I tried taking it out when i think she falls asleep , but she wakes up as soon as i take it out

It would be fine for your bub to sleep with her dummy in her mouth... I always took my kids dummies out though, mostly because I was paranoid that there could be some kind of stuff up with the dummy and the whole teat bit could come off... also because I didn't want them to become reliant on it when they didn't need it.

DD2 uses a dummy for sleeps too but she spits them out when shes asleep, there fine to use!!

They are safe to use in fact the last time I checked the latest SIDS information they were actually suggesting babies sleep with dummies.

yep they are fine. Mia sleeps with a dummy. Usually she spits it out once shes in a deep sleep, sometimes she doesnt. It might be the shape of the Nuk ones thats leaving red marks. There are so many dummies out there so mayb try a different one? I tried heaps before I found one she was happy with and it was the Tommee Tippee ones. There are so many different shapes and sizes.. i was quite amazed.

i have to agree with the other girls, dummies are fine to sleep with! DS always sleeps with one, sometimes he spits it out sometimes he dosent. the only thing is it can become quiet annoying for you if she loses it during the night and starts calling out for it every hour that is until there old enough to find it and put it back in there own mouth!!
