thanks guys - yer I am trying to avoid the eventual dummy weaning. but as you said Starbright, I cant handle her crying knowing in my heart a suckle will make her feel better, so I do that... i just feel nervous about starting a pattern whereby she wont settle without breasts... But you guys are right I guess she is still very little.

I will keep doing the alternating (booby/dummy), seems a compromise on the advice?

after reading other difficulties women have had with breastfeeding, I feel like I have nothing to complain about!
