Baby A has been getting much more active, much more hyper lately. We know he’s not an easy baby – he’s not the sort you can leave to play by himself, that’s for sure – but he seems to be getting harder and harder to control.
So….we’ve had to resort to using a dummy to calm him down. He’s really getting attached to using one, so we try and limit it as much possible. As soon as he has it in his mouth, he relaxes and just concentrates on sucking on it. Yep….it’s a great way to shut him up.
I’m still not quite sure whether it’s good to use a dummy. You hear all sorts of things, such as damaging the gums and future speech problems. But until we get him interested in watching TV (I know, we’re terrible parents!) it’s going to have to be the dummy.
….Actually, what the hell, we won’t give him the dummy OR television. He can cry all he wants but we won’t give in.
Maybe.
