5 month old DD will not take a dummy, I feel it would help soothe her especially at night. We have tried:
-mam
-nuk
-tommy tippe
-tesco own

All rejected, any suggestions for one she might take?

Some babies just don't like dummies. Neither of mine did (I did try!)

Just give up, at least it means you won't have to deal with getting rid of them later.

Most babies won't if you don't start them young. 5 months is probably too late to introduce one.

We've been trying her from about 1 month but she would just spit it out or gag with it in her mouth, she's EBF so not used to things in her mouth but now she's putting all her toys etc in there thought she may go for a dummy too

Why do you want her to have a dummy?

5 months is too late, you need to introduce it when they’re newborn and still have the sucking reflex.
