    I did feed/play/sleep with my first and found it SO much easier to feed to sleep with my second. Neither of mine took a dummy.
    I know that doesn't really answer your question, except that I found feeding to sleep to be the easiest way to go with my second. Particularly once she got to a couple of months old. I could put on a show for Natty, dash off to feed Phoebs to sleep, then come back as the show was finishing in time to do some sort of activity with Nat. It didn't always work that smoothly but mostly did (and still does!).
    All the best!

    ETA: Phoebe does still wake at least once a night for a feed. But there are cons with the dummy too I'm led to believe - you could be up every 40 minutes to replace the dummy. Although this would be less of a problem if you room in or co-sleep.
