Silly question- dummies
My LO is 3 1/2 weeks old and loves her dummy- we are trying to keep it for only when she's waiting 5 mins for a feed (FF baby) and evening grizzles, but I know she's asking for it even when she's not hungry for comfort as she cries and puts her fists in her mouth, however she hasn't really found a thumb or finger yet. At night I try not to give the dummy to settle her as when it falls out she cries and I ahve to put it back in x10 times! But sometimes I admit I do give in.
My question is, does a dummy cause harm to development of babies' teeth, mouth etc or is it just a case of problems later trying to wean them off he ummy? Sorry if this is a really ignorant post! x

Ds2 is 7 weeks and has orthadontic soothers, though he isn't actually too fussed about having one, it's just as extra comfort, but I do allow him to have it when he wants if it makes him feel better.
Hope this helps.
My ds1 and one niece are 4 in march and my other niece is 3 in may.
