How do you feel about dummies?

[Neenee Jellybeanie]

I found with DD (and other parents have told me) bubs don't like the orthodontic ones. I have no idea why but I keep hearing from other parents that their bubs, like mine, would only go for the cherry shaped. Personally I wouldn't bother paying lots of money for dummies, believe me they will get lost! We like to joke that they run off together and breed because we'll struggle to find any for weeks and all of a sudden we look under the bed and there's 10 of them LOL!

LOL our 2 yo DD was a classic for this. She would be down to one dummy after losing all the others, then she would disappear into one of the bedrooms and reappear with a new one!

I was finally prompted to get rid of them for good after she had once again lost them all and the dog chewed the last one. It was surprisingly easy - I told her that the dog had chewed her dummy so we have to throw it away, but to sweeten the deal the 'dummy fairy' left her a little present for being a big girl and saying goodbye to her dummies.

When my babies were newborn I would buy the more expensive ones, as they don't tend to lose them that easily when they are so small. But as they got older I would just buy the cheap 3 pack of tommee tippee cherry soothers. My kids didn't like the happy baby ones because they would always deflate.
