Dummy's /reflux Those with babies with reflux did you give your baby a dummy? My friend has as when her baby's in pain…

Mine had reflux too but she's spitting the dummy out every time o try to give her. Shoul have given earlier... ( she 's 5 weeks now) ?

Yes my lo had a dummy and it really helped him.

He had it a lot of the time in his first few months but I gradually gave it to him less by 1 he just had it for sleep and by 16 months I took it away completely. I was lucky though as I didn't have to keep putting it back in at night, once his medication was sorted and working well he slept through the night.

I think it's defiantly worth it if it helps them with the pain x

My lb has terrible reflux. I'd rather he suck a dummy for comfort thn scream in pain. X

Also I find giving him it when hes laying flat to be changed etc helps to prevent him bringing milk up.

I don't understand why some people are so against them!? As long as you keep them clean and make sure there needs are all met then what's the problem! Why deprive your baby of something that makes things easier for you and baby?

Yea, tommy has reflux and he had a dummy. It definately seems to help him when he's grizzly because of it. It's much better than letting her chew her or your hand as you can sterilise them and it'll be easier to break the habit as you can't take a hand away!

My lb had colic n he wanted bottle all the time 4 comfort but then wud cause him pain from the wind. I was adamant he wasn't having a dummy but giving him it was the beat thing ever. He sleeps better n deffo helped xx

My Lg doesn't have reflux but when we burp her we've noticed if we give her a dummy she brings the wind up easier x

I have sent you some info via text hun with a website etc you can show your oh hopefully will help him to agree xx

If anyone has a link or knows a website with this info on it so i can prove to my oh that it may help her and that I'm not just wanting her to have one id appreciate it x

Both my boys had dummy's but they tended to only take for comfort to go to sleep when was in pain they'd refuse

My health visitor told me to give a dummy when my little girl was suffering said it would help help and it really did. Xx

I'm gonna have to tell him today that we need to see if she will take one! Il do it when we're at his mothers later! His auntie and sister will be there too lol his mum hates dummy's too! She said on Thursday when she came over oh good no dummy still! X

Emma do you think they would have helped a bit if he had taken one? My oh says no to dummy's! I doubt she would take one tbh but when she's sucking my finger sometimes it feels like she's gonna chomp it off! X

Ollie has reflux and a milk allergy and he refuses point blank to have one .good in a way as one less thing you have to try get them off .etc like dummies potty training

I don't think ivs explained it well lol what I ment was did people give a dummy so when they were getting pains they could chew on something or suck it. Xx
