Dummy
When to give baby a dummy if combi feeding? Baby is 2 weeks old

With my first we introduced a dummy at 12 days old - he was combi fed but later I exclusively breastfed and he never had any issues with the bottle/breast but that is always the risk. We haven’t yet introduced a dummy with my 3week old as we haven’t felt the need just yet, unlike the first where it was a god send! X
We resorted to the dummy at only 4 days old 🙈 I felt so so guilty but honestly, it hasn't affected breastfeeding at all, he still very much lets me know when he's hungry! He just really loves to suck 😂 and it's the only thing that helps settle him to sleep.

As far as I've been told, due to avoid nipple confusion and avoid missing feeding cues, around 5/6 months if possible
