How do you feel about dummies?

[Reborn]

We used dummies for ds but about 2mths ago he decided he didnt want it anymore. Even when he's really upset he refuses it. He seems to think its much better to throw Anyway I dont have a problem with dummies. Sometimes babies just need that little extra comfort.

Just a thing about dummies. They slip out alot so we got one from Big W that closes over when it falls. So no yuckies get on the actual dummy part. HTH

DD never took the dummy and i always wished she did!

I would get jealous seeing other mums at the shops with a peaceful baby sucking the dummy! haha. The only way i could make dd peaceful was the put the nipple in her mouth!

GL! I hope your bub takes one, they're a godsend!
I'll be trying to give our bub the dummy again when she arrives!

lol I could take out shares in TommeeTippee. I have always used them and at least they can be taken away unlike fingers.

Your baby might not have DPs opinions though. Darcy would only take the $2 dummies and lots of bubs are like that. The ortho ones are weird....

#1 - you sterilise it nearly every day to start with
#2 - if it falls under the cot you give it a brush off, then think for a minute and get a clean one out cos you better wash it
#3 - argh, dirt is good for their immune systems


I always remember being told this and mebbe not to that extreme, but it is pretty true
