Another question on dummies, how did you wean your babies off their dummies. My little girl has a little taggie dolly for bed which she also likes to have at bed time so we hoped she might not mind losing the dummies but she's still quite keen at won't tend to sleep at night without one!!
She never needs them at nursery in the day and just naps no problem in a pram there. But at night its different. See last answer. Hi Julia, I have 4 children all of which have had dummies. I stopped sterilising once they were roaming around putting everything in their mouths, dont know if that the right time but worked for me.
My youngest is 8 months and she has just given up her dummy, may seem cruel but I just took it away, we had one bad night and that was it, she doesnt even look for it anymore. Did the same with the other 3 too. You have to do what you think is right for your child and only you know that. Will say though my sisters little girl had a dummy constantly in her mouth until she was nearly 3 and it has certainly done her teeth no good so think it better to go earlier than later.
This is especially important in the first few months, but you might be wondering if you have to keep doing this beyond that? Generally, it is recommended that you continue to thoroughly clean and sterilise their equipment until your baby is 12 months old.
Bottles and teats have creases and nooks where traces of milk or formula, so thoroughly cleaning them after each use with hot, soapy water and a bottle brush is important. This cleaning will remove the old milk but will not remove germs and bacteria and so sterilising is key. Technology is inescapable in this day and age. Place the lid on the saucepan and bring to the boil.
This will protect your baby against infections, in particular diarrhoea and vomiting. Sterilize the pacifier by putting it in boiling water for 5 minutes before the first use.
Keep it clean by washing it with hot, soapy water after each use. Replace the pacifier every two months. Page Contents.
