Breastfeeding and Dummies is it ok??
Me again
My dd Amber is 18days old and I am pretty sure she is using me as a dummy at night to settle!! I am b'feeding her and expressing so she can have a bottle in the night too. I think she has got used to feeding to settle herself of to sleep as she goes very sleepy - almost as if she is asleep and sucking if that's possible??
My midwife told me not to use a dummy but I am sure this would settle her off as she isn't always hungry - sometimes she will have 30mins be put down to sleep and wake herself up an hour later crying and desperate to get latched onto the boob. She feeds roughly every 3 to 4 hours.
Any advice would be great as I want her to be able to sleep without being b'fed to sleep, thanks girls!

Give it a try and see if she will have one! it won't be a prob with the bf!
There are lots of different styles, cherry teat etc. I found the tommee tippee closer to nature dummy best as its meant to feel like a breast xx
I used the cherry teat ones and she took to it straight away.
Give it a go and see how you get on
