dummies??
My little girl is 11 days old and i have not yet gave her a dummy as i am breastfeeding and wanted to make sure she latched on fine. The past couple of days she has been quite restless and im considering giving her a dummy but feel soo guilty about it? Did anyone else feel like this and did they give their LO a dummy?

we did it at 8days old and have never had a problem we would have had a very upset baby if we didnt! we use the tommee tippee back to nature as there ment not o interfere with breastfeeding worked for us x like abbysmum said why shouldnt they have some comfort xx
Now at 10 weeks she will not entertain the idea of a dummy, she has grown out of it herself!
Give it a try and see how it goes, some babies just need the extra comfort

My eldest was really good at 'giving it up', he put it on the christmas tree and it went to all the new babies and santa left him an extra special pressie!
Now that my youngest boy is a bit older he knows that dummy time is either when he is ill or when he is going to bed. I see nothing wrong with this.
I gave it to her when she was just a couple of days old and she's what you may call a sucky baby as well.
I do think people look disapproving at me when she's got it in when we're out, but stuff them!
I try to keep her use of it to when she's tired, distressed or in the car - but if we have a day when she wants it all day, then she has it!!
I'm not one for letting a baby get stressed just because someone disapproves - and yes, they do say that the risk of SIDS is dramatically reduced with a dummy....

Now at 7 months she LOVES her dodo, and wont sleep without it, but she only has it when she's tired (or I need her to be quiet - like if we got to church or something).
