Breastfeeding and a dummy

[Shleepymummy]

I am EBF my 4 week old. He has colic symptoms and is often unsettled after a feed. He isn’t great on the boob and it’s hard to know when he’s finished as he is on and off with discomfort. When I think he is done and doesn’t seem to want to be on there/screaming and pulling away, I am using a dummy to help settle him/get him to sleep. Is this bad for breastfeeding? We are being seen in tongue tie clinic this week to see if his cut TT has reattached and to figure out why he’s so fussy on the breast. But I can’t see how I would quit the dummy, as it seems to be only thing that soothes him?!
Any ideas/experience with its use and breastfeeding?
TIA

I did this with both babies from about a week or two old and it was fine. Used the dummy as a sleep aid if they were finished feeding but unsettled.

No issues here either. I used a dummy with DD on and off (more consistently now at 3 months) as she would comfort suck for hours.

HV commented that they don't advise dummies until 6 weeks, but also that she'd never actually seen a case of nipple confusion, so we carried on.

No problem for us...think we introduced it at around 3 weeks. It's been a god send for settling. Particularly useful for car journeys which otherwise my dd screamed through.
