My husband wants to introduce a dummy to our 4 month old. I think it’s too late to introduce one & I’m concerned about weaning her off it when the time comes.

If she’s happy without it then you don’t really have to introduce it. Unfortunately my mum introduced our little one to a dummy and she became dependant on it but when she’s sleeping or she spits it out I try not to offer it again so she can get used to being without it

My son stopped using his by 7 months because we only offered it while sleeping. They really shouldn't have them after teeth start coming in

I agree it's a bit late.. why does he want to introduce it now?

Agree, is late. I wouldn't introduce it.

I want my baby to have it too but she’s refusing to have it! I’d rather have her be soothed by the binky now and deal with weaning later 😩 she hates that thing and won’t have it in her mouth longer than 30 seconds lol 🤷🏼♀️ instead I’m her binky -.- she’s 3 months old and it might be too late now

I wouldnt. What for? Theres no benefit to them and they will mess up the babys teeth.

if it will give u more time for yourself or make you feel slightly a bit better give it to her, theres nothing wrong with it, with weaning her off it worry about that when the time comes but for me and all my cousins our grandad took ours and we never asked for it back because we were all scared of him, not for any particular reason just🤷🏻♀️ but that could work, but there is no point worrying about it now, theres many ways to wean babies off dummys. happy parents = happy baby, relaxed parents = relaxed baby

My little girl has hers from birth my son on the other hand hates his, It’s only recently he’s started taking too it, He’s 6 months and I don’t know if that’s because he’s teething and he can chew if
