Introducing a dummy?

We give baby one sometimes when not settling for sleep. Sometimes she takes it, sometimes she doesn’t want it, but it hasn’t impacted feeding at all. I breastfeed and she takes one bottle at night time too. Give it a go :) xx
@Briony I do sometimes feel like a human dummy so that’s really good to know you’ve had no issues🙂 what dummies are you using??
@M so reassuring to hear thank you! What dummy do you use?
We introduced one on day 2 and she uses it mostly to settle to sleep. It's not caused any issues with latching for us. We use mam 😊
@Claudia we use the mam dummies and bottles!
@Claudia we are using Mam dummies !
Combi and use Mam dummies, find it so helpful as my son likes to feed most times for over an hour and to stop I will give him one when I’m On my own and can’t pass him to someone else to settle
I breastfeed and use a bottle and dummy, baby had all fine x
Same as above though my little girl prefers the boob to dummy’s 🤣 We went for mam as we’re using mam bottles too
My little boy has been breast / bottle fed and had a dummy since he was born as he was in neonatal for the first few days and he’s never had any issues with any of them x
I’m breast feeding, bottle feeding and she has a dummy and she latches on all 3 fine! I find the dummy really useful when she just wants to soothe so she doesn’t use my boob for that!
