We have just been placed with a 12 week old baby, who is beautiful.However his previous carer has let him become very dependent on a dummy. This is really two fold but he will go down well to sleep and will sleep from about 7pm just wakimg for a feed then I'm the early hours he will bexome restless and flail around with his arms and wake himself up. I have tried tucking his arms in with a blanket over his baby sleeping bag but he hated it. He also supports out his dummy and doesn't have the hand skill to put it back in. I'm up every half hour or so retrieving it. He likes the cherry dummies and we use a MAM clip to no avail. Any tips about his flailing limbs and the dummy would be much appreciated. Thanks
