I loathe them, and yet I did myself staring at one on the coffee table contemplating giving it to my ds2.
He's a wee one at just 11 days old but already I'm shattered after another shit night. He's feeding overnight every 1-2 hours and will sleep for up to 4 hours in the day. I know I need to try and flip him and have attempted to keep him awake more today to feed him more.
So what do people think about dummies? Ds1 never took one but ds2 seems to suckle more and we have short feeds where I know he's not taking much.
Can they be used as the baby whisperer says - just to help them self soothe in the early days and only for the first stage of dropping off to sleep?
