Dummy??

I’ve given into giving a dummy at 5 nearly 6 weeks. Feel like I’ve had one of those days today where lack of sleep is making everything 10x worse where you feel you just want to break down and cry when my baby won’t stop crying all day! Feeling guilty giving in to giving him a dummy but also know this is stupid! Anyone else feeling similar!?

Its good to give baby a dummy. It reduces the risk of SIDS and reminds baby to breath and keep their airways open x

My HV also recommended a dummy and mentioned it can reduce risk of SIDS. We’ve started giving one, it’s hit or miss whether baby actually takes it or not 😂

I was in the hospital for a week following the birth of my baby, I gave him a dummy about 3 days in due to the fact I felt like his screaming/crying was getting annoying to the other mamas/staff and felt guilty about it but the guilt quickly went away when he was more content! Just got to think of your own sanity and their comfort if it helps it helps xx

I was told by my HV that a dummy is recommended as it keeps airways open and can preven SIDS xx
