DS kept knocking his dummy out with his hand when I put it in his 5 months although has been very effective. Yesterday he got to sleep by sucking his thumb (and for all his sleeps since), but he is finding it very difficult now if I pick him up he wants my boob to suck on and gets very upset if I don't give it to him but do not want to get into bf to sleep.
He screams settles himself for a few seconds with his thumb then screams again. I feel awful leaving him to cry.
We have gone over 24 hours without dummy now but feel cruel not giving it back. This is a horrible situation!
