dummies - do you let your baby fall asleep with one?
my 5 week old son has a dummy - he loves it - he's v sucky!!
i don't mind him having it apart from sleep times- sometimes he can fall asleep with it in his mouth and not notice when it falls out and has a lovely long nap. but sometimes when it falls out it wakes him up and he grizzles and cries for it. do yoiu let your baby fall asleep with a dummy in and how do you get around the problem???
thanks,marie x

We got around that by giving him one to hold in each hand, and putting some in the same place in his cot so if he does wake he knows where they are and can settle himself down again.
Ollie had a dummy from about 2 weeks - it was either that or my nipples! Now he only has it for sleep, or if he's really really grizzly.

They say now that it helps prevent cot death too!!!!
