Can anyone recommend a dummy brand that is good for breastfed babies? I want to introduce one for napping during the day as he is using my boob to soothe himself to sleep and won’t sleep any other way. Have tried mam but he just seems to spit them out

Baby is 11 days old and has been feeding pretty much hourly for the last few hours. Trying to remind myself that cluster feeding is normal but it’s so hard to trust your body sometimes isn’t it! Especially when we’ve had a few weigh losses at the start. Anyone else in the cluster feed trenches!?
