I am one that is for the dummy.

Tia had one until she was about 2 and a half, we went fishing one night and she dropped it over the jetty.
we told her she couldnt have one anymore coz she gave it to the fish. and she was happy with that.
Alisha didnt want one when she was a bub. and now Mirani has a couple. my brother cheekily got her a melb demons one for xmas.

i didnt toilet train my girls until they were 3 and old enough to understand a) whats happening and b) when they knew what they were supposed to be doing.
potty's didnt work so it was straight onto the loo.

thanks for the comments about the pics, i cant seem to get any of her when her eyes are open.

i call her my 'frog princess' atm, as she still pulls her legs up, with knees out and feet together.


so far with the karicare, there hasnt been as much regurgitation after feeds.
and she seems more calm when it comes time to burp.
they also come out easier too. i dont know whats happening with the other end though, have to wait a couple of days to see if thats changed.

the good thing about her being on the bottle, is that atm DP and i take turns in getting up for her.
he gets up one night and i get up the next.
its working well atm, but i dont know whats going to happen when he finally goes back to work.
probably one tired and grumpy mummy.
