I think my main problem with dummies is that alot of people i've known have always either been "if you have to use a dummy, your obviously not doing something right" or they have six year olds who still insist on having a dummy in their mouth 24hrs a day.

I'd probably be fine with letting bub have one as long as it was limited use. Like when it's my last resort cause he won't settle, and i can promise you he won't be one of those older kids who still use them constantly when they hit school. I don't want him to develop a dependance on it. I don't want to develop a dependance on them either. Lol.

SamiH- Although the $2 would be a whole lot cheaper, DP although he's fine with using a dummy, forbids us to use cheap ones. He's only ok with the two for $15 orthodontic ones. Lol. He's weird.
