Some parents couldn't get through the day without giving their baby a dummy, whereas other parents strongly disapprove of their use. You may decide you definitely won't use one, but change your mind when faced with your crying baby (Joyner et al 2017, NHS 2016). What sort of dummy or soother is best?It may be a question of trial and error before you find a dummy that your baby will accept. Some babies refuse to take a dummy at all (Joyner et al 2017). The MAM 0+/ 2-6+ Soothers are ideal up to the age of 6 months as they offer a smaller teat and shield for younger babies. The MAM 6+ Soothers are suitable from 6 months of age until one year as they provide a larger teat and shield than the 0+/ 2-6+ range but a smaller teat than MAM's 12+/ 16+ soother range. The MAM 12+/ 16+ Soothers being the largest of the MAM teats are ideal for older babies to use from 1 year of age until soother use stops. Easy to clean, either by hand, or on the top shelf of the dishwasher and suitable for all forms of sterilisation. This flexible dummy offers breast-like softness and won’t leave a mark around your baby’s face. Thanks to its contoured, ergonomic design, it helps soothe breastfed babies, putting them at ease in a naturally comforting way.As a go-to for essential baby products, Tommee Tippee is a well-known name to many parents around the world. The brand’s newborn dummy offers great value for money, and is the perfect choice for soothing your baby in a natural way. If a baby is exclusively breastfed, a dummy can seem completely alien to them. However, there are plenty of dummies designed with a natural softness to make soothing just that little bit more comfortable and familiar. Using a more breast-like dummy also means breastfed babies are less likely to suffer from “nipple confusion”, learning to switch between dummy and nipple with ease. Is a dummy safe for a newborn baby? Don't encourage your baby to take a dummy if he doesn't want one (The Lullaby Trust 2016). There are other, proven ways to reduce the risk of SIDS, such as:

We really loved that you can put your finger in the opening (from the outside of the dummy) to help pop it in and out gently, as required.Sexton S, Natale R. 2009. Risks and benefits of pacifiers.

Parents have praised the MAM night soother for being popular with bottle-fed and breastfed babies alike, and you can also combine it with MAM bottles to offer babies a familiar soothing experience. Plenty of parents have been amazed at how comfortable their babies appeared while using this dummy, and appreciated the slot for a clip to secure the dummy to a buggy or to baby’s clothes.Johnson JD et al. Infantile colic: Recognition and treatment. Am Fam Physician. 2015; 92(7):577–582. Finally, a recent study has suggested that using a dummy or soother may help mums with postnatal depression to continue breastfeeding for longer (Sipsma et al 2017). What are the disadvantages of using a dummy?Using a dummy for long periods may mean that your baby suffers more frequently from middle ear infections (Lubbe and ten Ham-Baloyi 2017, Sexton and Natale 2009): If your little one tends to use a dummy all day, it will be harder for him to try to talk to you or make sounds. Being able to do this is important for his speech development, so it’s a good idea to limit using a dummy to when he's trying to get to sleep, during the day and at night (NHS 2017). Will using a dummy help prevent SIDS?Some studies have suggested that using a dummy may help to prevent SIDS, but the evidence for this isn’t strong (NHS 2015, The Lullaby Trust 2016, Psaila et al 2017). If you choose to use a dummy for this reason, make sure you only give it to your baby for naps and night-time sleep, and don't worry if it falls out while your baby is asleep (The Lullaby Trust 2016).
