I feel like such a failure for giving him a dummy. 2 months on and he is miserable screaming all the time and desperately feeding for comfort to try to doze off. So much for the third just 'fitting in', that's certainly not happening. My other 2 are fed up with the screams, we're all tired and i feel dreadful that i am not able to offer him the comfort that he needs and that it has had to come from a plastic object! I gave him a dummy and within 3 seconds he was fast asleep. I feel so rubbish though. Never used them with other 2 and really don't like them. I know my family will raise their eyebrows at the mere thought of me using one and i know i'm going to get so many 'told you so' from various people who kept telling me he needed a dummy and i kept saying 'no way!' i really feel i have let him down. Feeling very tearful
