Hi NaeNae - firstly You're doing a fantastic job with your little girl & you obviously want to do the best thing for her. It's so hard deciding what the *right* thing to do is when you're on the steepest learning curve of your life & sleep deprieved at the same time!!

In my limited experience, I don't think you'll have any problems using a dummy. We used a dummy (NUK brand) from I think 3 days old. Never had any problem with supply whatsoever & DS never had nipple confusion. My DS only fed for 20mins right from the start - that was both sides. Now at 4 months old he only takes 5 minutes. He fed every 2 hours until about 6 weeks when he dropped to 3 hourly all on his own. So for us using a dummy didn't make any difference in regards to breast feeding.

FWIW my DS used to have awful wind pain after feeding. I had a very fast flow & sooo much milk. What worked for us was after a feed putting him over our shoulder (say our left) so that he was resting on his tummy, hold him with our left arm & pat his bum firmly with our right hand if that makes sense. The upward patting seemed to get the wind out of him & he was much more settled. So if it is wind & not SR maybe that'll work for your DD?
