Whether you decide to give to give your child a dummy is a very personal decision. It is something that's been ingrained in me since I was very young.
My mother didn't believe in them, she always said it was 'the lazy way out' and that's the only attitude I'd ever really known. Now I'm about to have my own child, it's a discussion that the hubby and I have had.
I can appreciate the arguments for it - it helps to soothe the child and keep your sanity in check to help with the crazy screaming episodes. On the other side people argue that they kick off bad habits, and that it's a way to ignore that your baby needs your attention.
Now, I'm somewhere in the middle of that. I don't intend to use a dummy on Squidge, but who knows, maybe a few weeks/months in I'll change my mind and buy a load of them, but for now it's not something I want to do, I want to at least give it a try/chance without them and hope we can cope.
What did you do or what do you plan to do?
