I dislike dummies not against them just hate seeing kids walkign round shopping centres sucking on them... that said

DS1 used a dummy occasionally for first 6 weeks when sleeping just when he needed a little comfort then he found his thumb he sucked his thumb till he was about 2 1/4 yrs then stopped

DS2 uses a dummy I hate hate hate it he seems to need it to comfort we keep trying to get him to find his thumb but no luck yet, he is 10 1/2 weeks, if he need to keep using one for his comfort not for us IYKWIM!! so be it, but once he is walking its gone... and only for sleepig etc I will not have him walking round shops house
