I too have bought a twin pack of newborn dummies to stash away *just in case*. I'd prefer to have them ready and waiting if we need them as a last resort in the middle of the night!

I myself didn't take to the dummy as a baby as I happily self-soothed from day dot by sucking my thumb instead. Much to my parents disgust (and mine too looking back at it!), I sucked my thumb until I was 10! At least a dummy can 'disappear', the same can't be said for the childs thumb! LOL!

PS: 6 years of orthodontic work during puberty finally fixed my teeth!
