Dummies and comfort sucker

is she awake when she comfort sucks? you could try slipping out your boob & in with the dummy. Only really works when they are asleep or half asleep.

tried putting dummy in she opens her eyes and looks at me as if to say "get that bloody thing out of my mouth women"
and the sweet thing is a big no no.............my dad tried to do it with Ty and i nearly kicked his arse hehe............i thought it may be the design of the teat?! will this make a difference?

To get Cody used to his I just held it losely in his mouth and let him play with it with his tounge. He still doesn't really get a good suction on it so I normally position his hands in such a way that he holds it in by himself. Sometimes he even puts his hands there by himself. I didn't introduce it till he was a month old. So I would suggest that you keep trying and also maybe you could try a different shaped one.

Jake is really lazy with his dummy, he knows its not boobie.. but if its all thats going he will take it.

Jake would comfort suck on me all day if I would let him!

Try a different dummy. We are using the newborn Avent...

We used the NUK ones, tho he refuses to take one anymore, but I had to when he was little because I was putting him to sleep by letting him suck on my finger! the nuk ones touch the roof of his mouth.
We just kept persevering and eventually he took it, we would just hold it in there until he sucked on it.
He would only take it at night which I was happy with because I don't like them either, and now he doesn't even need it.

We use Nuk here too. If it's not the boob in his mouth it's either the dummy or his fingers.

I have found the dummy brilliant with soothing for silent reflux.

the only small one i could find that day was the brights one i think tommee tippee.......i saw the nuk one but they only had 2 pack which didnt make sence to me

The 2 pack makes sense when the dog grabs the only dummy you have! We have one sterlised in the fridge at all times! Now Jake has found his fingers he isnt using it so much, but if he is really unsettled he still needs to swaddle tightly.. cant get his fingers then.

A know a few people who are using the old school ones with the bib bulb looking teat. I dont think Jake would take it, but apparently its the only ones their bubs would.

Trial and error.

would luv to have more then one that she actually takes but there not cheap and its more then our budget can take at the moment.......last night my 2yr old decided the dummy was for him so he has been walking around with the thing.....grrrrrrr
