DD is 8 weeks old and whilst she just about sleeps at night from 9pm-7am (with 3 feeds between) she is BF to sleep to get there, and has never been keen on the moses basket. We always put her in there asleep (wrong in all the books I know!) and if she stirs, the only thing that will calm her is the boob which hasn't been too much of an issue for me so far, but she does spend the whole night in the basket, doesn't settle herself to sleep but it seems to work for us.
In the daytime though, she will only nap in the morning on me (put into moses basket under same circumstance as night= wake after less than 5 mins crying until BF to soothe). This means I am sofa ridden for 2 hours etc. In the afternoon I put her in the sling, she cries until she realises she has boob access for a quick suckle then will nod off for 2 hours.
My question is, as she is using boob for comfort, would use of a dummy help calm her, when she initially stirs in basket for naps. I have bought 2 mams dummies, hesitant to use, in case I make things worse by starting a dummy addiction... (no offence to dummy users) I do think we would only use to settle for naps/sleep not in day out and about. Would you introduce one at this stage??
