my baby having trouble griping dummy any ideas

[hollygiz1]

hi my little 13 weeks has a real problem keeping dummy in especially in night, she just cant get a good grip on it any ideas please as im putting it in every 2 minutes in middle of night

Same here, I think my DS enjoys making me play fetch. We found some improvement with the orthodontic shaped, but not much.

can i just ask i know sounds daft but what does ds stand 4 been wondering

[isaidno]

ds = darling son
dd = darling daughter

I would try going without the dummy - perhaps your baby will settle back to sleep without it.

i doubt it she does go 4 a few hrs when i put her to bed then she starts wanting it bout 3 o clock n from then onwards, some people say to dip it in stuff is this a good idea cos not really sure bout this and what anyway

[AnarchyAunt]

No, dont dip it in anything - bad for their developing teeth!

Have you tried different shaped teats?

[hollygiz1]

yes but everting same using the cherry shaped ones as they seem to have the biggest teats

[Katw3kitts]

Maybe she just doesnt need it ?

Forget it. Less traumatic in the future.
