I didn't want Niamh to have a dummy, mainly because I still had one when I was 5 (seriously!! ) and I still remember the heartache of giving it up (it was like giving up smoking ). But she has been using the boob as one instead so this evening I had finally had enough . After grizzling on and off booby for nearly two hours I was sore!! I stuck the dummy in and after a few seconds of scrunching her face she took it, had a suck for 30 secs and was out like a light! Magic! I whipped it out when her mouth went slack a few seconds later and she stayed asleep.
So, how do I make sure she doesn't become a slave to it, like her mother clearly did!
