Dummies

I started giving my baby a dummy quite early on. She's only 5 weeks old and is my first. I'm wondering if I should try and get her used to sleeping without it as I don't want to get to a point further down the line where it's really hard to get her used to not having it. Maybe I'm just over reacting like most new mums do.

I think they normally say try to stop lo having it around 18-24 months so you have plenty of time. My sister's lo is nearly 3 and she still has a dummy. Not to put in her mouth - she takes it to bed as a comforter??!!
Your HV might say (like mine did very early on) to not give one to your lo after 6 months - ignore her & give her a dummy if you want to. Your baby remember! xx
