Nae - the mothering game is damn hard hun! everything comes down to you working it out for yourself cos everyone you know has done thing differently and what works for one won't work for another. or the way one person does things doesn't work for the next person - so damn hard!

anyway, just wanted to throw a few more hugs your way - and to let you know that the best way for you to do things is YOUR way. if you're not comfortable introducing a dummy, don't do it. if you want to try it, try it. ultimately you need to be comfy with what you're doing!
