Hi all, does anybody have any tips for baby taking dummy? He just point blank refuses and spits it out. I would much prefer he had one so that is he soothed outside of feeds.

Following because I have the same issue

Give when drowsy and they should take. Deffo try a few different brands / shapes. How old is baby? make sure you start with the smallest size. There’s normally 0-6 months but also 0-2 months which is what we used at the beginning. My baby refused tommee tippee but took to Mam 0-2 months and we’ve stuck with the Mam brand till date x

I expressed and then dipped the dummy in the milk and gave it to her. At first she’d just take it until the milk was gone and then spit it out and I’d just repeat it. Each day she kept it in a little longer and in about a week she’d completely accepted the dummy. I used one that points upwards because that triggers their sucking reflex. Once she was used to it I managed to move her on to mam dummies

Mine would only take the MAM dummies as well and try holding her like you would to feed and then do small repetative taps on the face of the dummy they might keep refusing it but you just have to stick with it and they will take to it
