Boob

Anyone else's baby use your boob as a dummy? Won't take a dummy. But when he's crying won't stop until he rests on my boob with his lip touching my nipple. Has anyone got any tips on how to stop this? I'm not breastfeeding as such mainly formula as I don't have a good milk supply due to health reasons. I just can't settle him any other way, either that or him been held.

Yes. Mine does it a lot It’s normal apparently - they do it for comfort

I use mam dummies and gently press/hold the dummy on the bottom of the plastic against her bottom lip so that it angles towards the roof of her mouth, essentially imitating the ‘nose to nipple’ breastfeeding latch. I’ll hold it there for a good few seconds until she’s got a solid latch on the dummy

My little girl sucks on my finger as wont take a dummy 😬xx
