My 4month DS is in his 4th settling in day at nursery. Uptil now he has had my full attention and most probably been in arms a big part of the past two weeks (festive season and family . Although he is ickle he has a big personality and although I hate to admit it a bit of a temper . The person in charge of baby room asked how we felt about dummies. As she thought it would be a good idea for DS to soothe him as they aren't always around to pay him attention or able to pick him up. Am I being paranoid; is that not what they are there for or is it a case of if he cries stick a dummy in his mouth to keep him quiet. HELP!!!

Thanks for all your support. Haven't had a chance to reply. I started work this week and DS officially started nursery. He's settled in really well. I think the nursery are getting used to him and his ways . The dummy question came up again the other day. I made it very clear we did not want him using a dummy and we had managed without one for 4 months. I did explain to the Baby Room Manager that he is a very hungry baby and 9 out of 10 that is why he screams his head off and I am happy for them to feed him even if its just an ounce to fall asleep. After I put my foot down she completely back pedalled and ever since that day DS and Baby Room Manager are doing great. She even agreed that it was food he needed and not just a soother. Its soo hard leaving him every morning 8-6 is such a long day but needs must and all that. Not only did I go back to work this week but its actaully a new job so there has been so much to adjust to. Oh well forward and onwards
