Hello, opinions on this vary, especially from lactation consultants, who strictly reject dummies whilst breastfeeding, but in my own experience, if you have the right breastfeeding technique, your daughter’s doing well and she holds onto the breast well, it is not a problem to give your daughter a dummy if she wants. It may be that some children do not want a dummy, then it is necessary to try repeatedly and, if necessary, to replace it with a dummy from other brands. Giving a dummy usually doesn’t mean that your daughter will start to refuse to breastfeed.

Hello, I have a 5-month-old son who weighs 5800g, last week he has started wanting to be breastfed more and more often, during the day every 2 hours, sometimes even every 1.5 hours, at night after every 3 hours. Can I already start with baby food and if so, as soon as possible? Show more
From: MomWalking alone
I’d like to ask if everything is okay or should I take my son for a specialized examination? I have a 14-month-old son who has been walking using the furniture for a long time, he can sit on his own, climb on a chair, sometimes he even stands on his own in the open for a while before realizing that he is not holding anything or no one is holding him, so he immediately drops to his knees and quickly crawls. He takes a few steps if held by the hand, but then prefers to go on his knees or someone to carry him. He doesn't want to walk alone. Should I have him examined or wait? Show more

A dummy during breastfeeding?
Hello, I now have a 3-week-old daughter, born at term, gaining weight well, breastfeeding fully. However, for the last few days, she wants to be on the breast nonstop. As soon as I put her aside, she sleeps for a while, but then she wakes up and nothing calms her except breastfeeding, so I sometimes even breastfeed every hour, day and night. I’m starting to get very tired. I’d like to ask if I can give her a dummy? Will it affect breastfeeding?
