I have a dummy chain thing... brilliant! life saver considering he'd spit it out each time I got him out of the car & at 2xs a day it was getting annoying]]> Thu, 25 Jun 2009 18:41:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27092&PID=709427&title=dummies-and-comfort-sucker#709427 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27092&PID=709148&title=dummies-and-comfort-sucker#709148 Author: TysMummy

We have 2 dummies too, great when Cam decides to spit one on the floor or DH has misplaced one!

I'm finding Cam is not wanting his much anymore, so don't worry too much at this stage about dummy dependency and all that.]]> Tue, 23 Jun 2009 21:06:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27092&PID=708130&title=dummies-and-comfort-sucker#708130 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27092&PID=708004&title=dummies-and-comfort-sucker#708004 Author: mummyofprinces

The 2 pack makes sense when the dog grabs the only dummy you have! We have one sterlised in the fridge at all times! Now Jake has found his fingers he isnt using it so much, but if he is really unsettled he still needs to swaddle tightly.. cant get his fingers then.

A know a few people who are using the old school ones with the bib bulb looking teat. I dont think Jake would take it, but apparently its the only ones their bubs would.

Trial and error.]]> Tue, 23 Jun 2009 18:40:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27092&PID=708004&title=dummies-and-comfort-sucker#708004 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27092&PID=707806&title=dummies-and-comfort-sucker#707806 Author: TysMummy

we always found the nuk dummies good! they were the only 1s that astin would take.

maybe try the tommie tippie closer to nature dummies, they are pricey but are designed for breastfed babies.

We use Nuk here too. If it's not the boob in his mouth it's either the dummy or his fingers.

I have found the dummy brilliant with soothing for silent reflux.]]> Mon, 22 Jun 2009 21:44:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27092&PID=707422&title=dummies-and-comfort-sucker#707422 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27092&PID=707375&title=dummies-and-comfort-sucker#707375 Author: Natalie_G

We use the orthodontic ones ummm I think its Avent.

We had used heaps of other types but Arianne found the orthodontic ones the best.

Arianne didn't take the dummy for about a month, we just kept trying and then she took it...now trying to take it away is the problem lol.]]> Mon, 22 Jun 2009 20:53:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27092&PID=707375&title=dummies-and-comfort-sucker#707375 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27092&PID=707356&title=dummies-and-comfort-sucker#707356 Author: JoJames

We used the NUK ones, tho he refuses to take one anymore, but I had to when he was little because I was putting him to sleep by letting him suck on my finger! the nuk ones touch the roof of his mouth.
We just kept persevering and eventually he took it, we would just hold it in there until he sucked on it.
He would only take it at night which I was happy with because I don't like them either, and now he doesn't even need it.

Keep persevering! Benjamin refused to take a dummy for a start then all of a sudden two days ago I tried him again with it and he took it and settled beautifully!

I still have to hold it in there especially if he's really upset but I've definitely found that it's worked after he wouldn't have a bar of it for a start.

Good luck though - I wasn't a big fan of them either but I am a big fan of anything that helps to settle my baby!!    ]]> Mon, 22 Jun 2009 20:23:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27092&PID=707343&title=dummies-and-comfort-sucker#707343 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27092&PID=707191&title=dummies-and-comfort-sucker#707191 Author: mummyofprinces

Jake is really lazy with his dummy, he knows its not boobie.. but if its all thats going he will take it.

Jake would comfort suck on me all day if I would let him!

Try a different dummy. We are using the newborn Avent... ]]> Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:36:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27092&PID=707191&title=dummies-and-comfort-sucker#707191 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27092&PID=707184&title=dummies-and-comfort-sucker#707184 Author: angel4

we found the tommy tippe cherub ones quite good. they are really rounded so easy for bub to have in there with quite an open mouth like they have on the boob. Id try a different dummy to see if it works.
We hated them too but henry had reflux and it helped him soothe. At around six months we took it off him and he now sucks his thumb. ]]> Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:26:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27092&PID=707184&title=dummies-and-comfort-sucker#707184 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27092&PID=707161&title=dummies-and-comfort-sucker#707161 Author: Flutterby

To get Cody used to his I just held it losely in his mouth and let him play with it with his tounge. He still doesn't really get a good suction on it so I normally position his hands in such a way that he holds it in by himself. Sometimes he even puts his hands there by himself. I didn't introduce it till he was a month old. So I would suggest that you keep trying and also maybe you could try a different shaped one.]]> Mon, 22 Jun 2009 15:56:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27092&PID=707161&title=dummies-and-comfort-sucker#707161 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27092&PID=707068&title=dummies-and-comfort-sucker#707068 Author: whitewave

Definitely don't put anything sweet on it, that's a no-no!

What brand are you using, maybe she might take a different shape? We've been using a Nuk dummy, these are brilliant.

tried putting dummy in she opens her eyes and looks at me as if to say "get that bloody thing out of my mouth women"
and the sweet thing is a big no no.............my dad tried to do it with Ty and i nearly kicked his arse hehe............i thought it may be the design of the teat?! will this make a difference?]]> Mon, 22 Jun 2009 14:00:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27092&PID=707064&title=dummies-and-comfort-sucker#707064 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27092&PID=707028&title=dummies-and-comfort-sucker#707028 Author: MissAngel
