Gumdrop Dummies - any opinions or medical advise on them please?

Hiya!
My 4mth old daughter is breast fed and often comfort feeds. She refused all standard dummies, ie cherry, orthadontic etc. However I have found that she will take a 'gumdrop' shape, popular in America I believe. This seems to settle her. But I dont know of any opinions about the use of them, other than general advise on all dummies. Has anyone else used them?
Many thanks :)

Hi I am a SCBU nurse and these are the Dummies we use for all our babies so my guess is they are fine! If she is happy using them then go ahead!

Thanks very much for that, has reassured me. She loves it, and the only one she will take so we both happy. It just looks a bit strange in her mouth as I have never known anyone else use them, lol!

Thanks again :)
