Dummy Advice!

My little man (almost 4 weeks old) uses me like a dummy! Sometimes I think he gets mad there is milk coming out of my boobs 😂 because he just wants to soothe! Desperately trying to get him to take a dummy but he hates them all! Any advice/ recommendations would be really appreciated! ❤️

I didn’t with my elder two but this one was in hospital a little while and trying to keep him on his back resulted in lot of screaming so we tried a dummy. We now have “car dummies” as otherwise its constant screaming. It’s constant screaming when there is no-one to out it back in, but still!

The only ones he’ll take are the Asda cherry shaped dummies or the tommee tippee ultimate fit ones.

All I can suggest is trying different ones to find one that works. When mine was little. The only one that stayed in her mouth where the mams ones

Keep trying at different times, hold it in his mouth a bit if he’s not upset, and this way our son ended up accepting it. But he still rejects if it's not the right time, he's the boss haha. We use Maam original

We dipped the dummy in expressed milk to get her used to it. Each time she would keep it in for a little longer and then she finally got used to it. Only took a day. It’s because they’re not used to something plastic in their mouth so dipping it in the milk makes it familiar for them

I want to stop co-sleeping 😭

I literally don't know what to do. I want to stop co-sleeping but it is a nightmare. As soon as I place my baby in his bassinet he'll start screaming bloody murder, or roll onto him belly and wake himself up, or sleep 30 minutes then wake up. It's a battle every night and eventually I'm exhausted and give up. He wins and gets to sleep next to mommy. I don't know what to do. 😭 He sleeps perfectly fine on his own for naps, just not at bedtime. Any advice?

Pram Help

My baby has just turned three months and has started to get more aware of what around them, and sometimes when I take them out in the pram they are wide awake and looking around, I use the flat basket at the moment but I started on really quick trips that last no longer than 10 minutes use the cat seat so they can look around, well with the pram I got the seat section but as my baby can't sit up and can only hold their head a tiny bit during tummy time, what do I do?
Photo shows the pram I have.

Nappy Deals

Just to let people know who don't know, Morrisons has a deal on Pampers nappies, I got the 50 pack of size 1 for £3 from £8. Also Tesco does a deal on Pampers if you get click and collect or delivery, I think, photo below. I also got the Pampers app which is worthwhile. I just thought I let people know to help save money because it does get expensive.
