I was open-minded about dummys before my first baby was born, I figured if we needed one I'd just nick up the shops and buy one.
Turns out Lucy didnt need one, she was a great sleeper, didnt need comforting really, and she discovered her thumb after about 2months. She sucked it whenever she got tired on/off until she was about 2yr. I haevnt seen her suck it for ages now, she's almost 3. I am concerned about how to wean her off it but she did that all by herself in the end
Coleman is a much more clingier baby, always wnts cuddles and extra breastfeeds. We actually bought a dummy and tried it with him when he was a few days old but he didnt want a bar of it. He has never been a thumb sucker either, prefers me (gee thanks) but he only wakes up wanting me if he's teething or sick so I cant handle that.
