Newborn Baby

[sam21901]

Hello, my baby is is a week old and we are having trouble on a night to get him to sleep. We haven't gave him a dummy yet because i've been told that it's not good for a baby. However i have seen many people give their baby's dummy's at a young age. Would love some advice on this, i am a first time parent.

Also, are you planning to try and transition back to breast, or are you committed to expressing? Are you getting any support with feeding? Breastfeeding direct would save you time and faff and make it safer to cosleep, potentially.

we have tried breastfeeding on the nipple but he won't latch on the boob. Tried when he was first born and wouldn't latch on so we gave him formula milk until i could buy an electrical breast pump. Thankyou for taking the time to write it really helps x
