Thanks Mad,

I am a bit confused as to what to do...

Today she only had one day sleep (usually has 3) because she just couldn't go down. SHe has finally gone done for the night (will have a late evening feed and one thru the night), but only feeding to sleep, even as exhausted as she was.

I tried so many times today to put her down to sleep, and even when feeding she only dropped off, but awoke either as soon as the breast was removed, or when I layed her down.

Maybe I am just better leaving her with the dummy? will she grow out of needing it put back in? I am ok with her having it if it is just for getting to sleep. It will be alot better than me having to feed her to sleep every time (will be impossible when I go back to work or if DH or anyone else has to put her down to sleep).

or, by giving her the dummy is the needing it to be put back in going to get worse? I am just getting really tired myself....

I don't really want to subsitute dummy to sleep with feeding to sleep, I was hoping a cuddle and a rock would work, but DD wouldn't have a bar of it, when I layed her down in my arms, she just either tried to get my niplle thru my shirt, or sucked on my arm (gave me a hicky) or screamed.

I don't want another day like today, I don't know whether to continue or just give it back to her????? Or, if I do keep going for a couple more days, and it still hasn't worked, then will I make it worse by giving it back?

I'm really angry with myself that I
(a) gave in and used a dummy in the first place, when I never would have
(b) then found it a little to easy to use
