I have a 12 week DS. We gave him a dummy when he was about six weeks and it helped with settling him to sleep.
However, at night we have to put it back in every hour almost. He used to go for a good long stretch from about 7-1 without it and then wake every hour or two, which was manageable. Every hour is not sustainable for us.
I'm not sure what to do. Has anyone any experience of this? When might he be able to put it back in himself? Or should we just ditch it? What will that be like? And will it mean he will suck his thumb? My 3 year old is a thumb sucker and the dentist has said it is causing her teeth to be pushed out of shape. I would probably prefer to try to avoid any long term dental problems, but I am exhausted!
