Dummies

Isn't the relevant thing in relation to the OP really that babies shouldn't go to sleep sucking on a bottle full of sugary liquid?

Surely waking time it's a matter of what suits the baby?

I think that’s a given humpty

My grandson used a dummy until he was almost four. His parents were told that this use was weakening muscles in his mouth and that he'd have future speech problems but because he threw such tantrums when they tried to take the dummy away, they gave in and let him keep it. He himself declared that on his fourth birthday he would give it up for good - and he did! He does have a slight lisp still, but it is rather endearing ....

In or out - what difference does it make? I alweys call the dummy the world's best invention, with sliced bread coming second.

Question

Is the child loved?
Are you doing the best you can for your child?
Nothing else matters.
