I am not a mad fan of dummies, and was convinced I would never use one. Until DD came along and needed something to suke and I just couldn't sit with my pinkie in her mouth all day!
Now we are 4 months down the line and it has been a god send.
Recently though, through the night I have been up hourly to put the dummy back in!
I have heard of people giving babies a muslin or the like as a comforter, that way they can't lose it so easy. Any advice on taking the dummy away and giving a muslin so that I don't have to get up so much?
Or should I stop complaining cos she is too young to start making her scream, at taking her dummy away?
It is funny because I was even more adamant that I would never give my baby a comforter either!! But, as my mum says, we always have the answers, Until we become the parents, then we have none!!
