Introducing a dummie

Hi, I’ve been EBF since my baby girl was born 3 weeks ago. Shes really fussy on a night and I think a dummies might help. Can I ask when others introduced a dummie, particularly those who are EBF and did this affect your breastfeeding in anyway? Thanks!

We introduced one on day 3. He’s now 2.5 weeks old and still breastfeeding well. It just helps settle him especially with my husband. My SIL introduced one around week 3 and EBF for 16 months no issues I use the mam dummies which are a bit flatter and he took to them well but you may have to explore some different ones

Try the bibs or tommee tippee nipple shape ones if you haven’t already, they’re the only ones my little one would take. Took a while but she eventually took it x

I gave in on giving her one until my mum/nana gave it to her and it did help to soothe her until her next feed. I think it was 2 weeks after I had her and I’m still breastfeeding and introduced to some bottle feeds x

my baby is 13 days and i EBF, we literally introduced one today, just for every now and then when needed. we used the MAM newborn one and baby seems happy and has been feeding as normal! x

Gave a dummy day 5 and never effected breast feeding but it really did help calm him. Used the mam newborn one too x

Thanks everyone, tried a mam newborn one yesterday and she spat it straight out 😂
