My little girl is all grown up!

Ok so maybe not, but have been struggling with getting her to sleep in her Moses basket during the day (fine at night) and have tried all sorts! She also cluster feeds from 7pm-11pm so I can never get anything done during the day or on a night!

So anyway just tried her with a dummy thinking she wouldn't take it and OMG straight to sleep in her basket, sucking away! It's so cute!

I'm going to try and not give her it too much but it feels so nice to have 5 mins!

So quick question.....do you have to sterilise dummies each time you use them? If so for how long? (what age until)!

Thanks ladies xxx

I cant remember if there's any sort of guidelines. With my 1st I didn't give her a dummy til around 2 months, I'd give her a sterilised one in the morning & in afternoon & at night, so around 3 x a day it would be sterilised. I used to sterilise a bunch of them...maybe 6 & leave them in steriliser til needed. Also, if one falls on the floor i'd replace it too.

Done that until they tell you to stop sterilising, cant mind what age that is, might still be 6 months, which it used to be.

Don't want her to be reliant on them but it's a relief to know she will have one if need be! X
