Dummies

Mine is also using a dummy for 'tiny mouth'. I didn't know we should size up to be honest. He's perfectly happy and just recently started accepting a pacifier. As long as he's happy for me it's ok
I dont have any answers re the small dummy but I started weaning my little guy off his dummy on Sunday. I started because I got so frustrated trying to put him down for a nap coz he would keep flicking the dummy out of his mouth and then cry for it back. It was taking a ridiculous amount of time for him to go to sleep so I decided to go cold Turkey. We have had a rough couple of nights but it is getting better every day and now he is going down for his naps within 10 minutes. I found the below article informative https://www.littleones.co/blogs/our-blog/when-and-how-to-remove-the-pacifier
@Shannon @Veronica it can lead to dental issues, poor formation of the mouth, becomes a choking hazard, and they struggle a bit to keep it in their mouths. She is putting half the plastic bit in her mouth now and you can see maybe 1cm of her mouth either side of the dummy
I found out the only difference between the 0-2 month MAM dummies and the 2-6 month ones, is that the mouth shield is slightly larger. I tried the 6+ month one for my LG at 5 months (just incase) but she wasn’t liking it. I think maybe just keep trying & see what happens?? Could just be because it’s new & probably feels much larger in their mouth 😊
Same here! He’s happy enough with the dummy do you know if it is ok for them? Or are there some negatives to using a smaller one?
