Dummies

I'm also wondering this and am breastfeeding too so following to see what others say xx

I breastfed my first and and am now breastfeeding my second, and I have used dummies for both. It never affected my firsts feeding and I still breastfeed her now, also my newborn has been doing well so far with feeding. 😊

I used a dummy with my first in the first few hours he was born, he was exclusively breastfed and it never interfered! We used mam dummies x

Also used dummies from a few weeks old with my first, she didn’t take it for a while, I tried a few different ones when she finally accepted one. A midwife literally told me off at the hospital saying I will miss hunger cues and put a dummy in instead, but honestly…
For us it was a godsend, she’s 17mo now, and mostly uses it to fall asleep.

Thanks all I feel a lot better now I’m using one ❤️

My girls nearly 3 weeks old! Only thing that’s been settling her the last few nights is a dummy! Life saver

My baby’s 1 month old and is breastfed and she has had the Tommee Tippee ultra light stay put dummies since birth. Glow in the dark ones are a must for night time!

I’ve had the exact same question Abi! Really useful answers 🥰

Breastfed my first and she didn’t accept a dummy. Currently breastfeeding 3 week old and using mam dummies. My newborn’s temperament is less chilled than our first so it’s been handy for calming during nappy changes etc. and it hasn’t affected feeding at all x

Personally i dont use a dummy!
Didnt with my first snd haven't this tjme either! Harder at times to settle them as they can be good to settled/pacify a baby, but i wanted to save myself the heartache taking it away down the line...

i also find nothing worse than seeing toddler with a dummy still - i know thats a bit judgy but yeah just something i never would give mine! 🙈X

I’m breastfeeding and use a dummy for when he wants breast for comfort to fall asleep. So instead he has the dummy to sooth him instead of hanging off my boob x

My osteopath recommended Ninni Co as they the only ones that mimic BF. I've just ordered a pair

Hospital midwife told me not to so that I don’t confuse the baby.
Community midwife told me that was nonsense and do whatever the hell makes life better.
Baby is 50/50 on whether he’s into it. You do you!

I used it with my first from about 2 weeks because he very much used my boob for comfort. Breastfeeding didn't go to well with him, but to be fair it wasn't going too well from the first weigh in so it definitely wasn't the dummy that started it, but maybe contributed 🤷. This time I'd wait till 2 weeks is again, by then I'll know if she's gaining weight and feeding well. My first didn't become overly attached to his dummy and I gradually removed it from about 4 months. He no longer used it by 5 months.... Alot less drama than waiting until they're older to remove it.

My boy is two weeks old tomorrow and he’s had one since being a week old. Sometimes it’s the only thing that soothes him

My baby is 3 weeks old, at 2 weeks we caved and gave her one. I’m breastfeeding too and it hasn’t affected her feeds
