To not want DS to have a dummy?

[Dummybegone]

The above isn’t accurate as I don’t mind him having it when he’s cranky or going to sleep.

But Dh keeps giving it to him all the time. He was crawling about happily this morning and Dh said ‘oh he doesn’t have his dummy.’

DS is now very dependent on it and I’m worried it’s going to impact on speech - aibu?

But what does he say when you ask why he feels your son needs it. Does he just stare at you blankly?

@Dummybegone

He has several.

It’s not that he refuses to discuss it, he just seems to think the dummy is needed - I don’t know why.

To reduce the chance of him fussing at all?

Idk, it sort of seems like a way of silencing before it's necessary!

Perhaps everytime your husband starts to speak you can stick a dummy in!

Dummies can impact on speech etc but on the other hand, they don’t. Both of my dds had them and both spoke really early on and both have perfect teeth so it isn’t a given that they will impact your son.
However, I definitely wouldn’t be giving him it if he’s happily going around without one. Just keep them for sleep or if he’s really cranky.
