Now that is the question. Some people believe that dummies are a bad idea - it teaches your kid bad habits and they end up relying on it. Then again, if you don’t give them a dummy they may resort to sucking their thumb. I know someone who was still sucking their thumb at the age of 10. Mummy A knows someone who continued to suck their thumb to sleep at the age of 19!
I don’t really know the answer, but we have started giving Baby A a dummy. After all, how else can you shut the baby up when you’re trying to watch TV?
