ds is 7 weeks old. he's our first and generally very 'good'. our life is very baby led and feel lucky that he doesn't cry a great deal. obviously does cry but not colicky iyswim.
anyway, if he cries I pick him up but this is not an option if I'm driving or particularly practical if I'm walking him somewhere in the pram.sometimes he's fine in pram but today just wanted to be held so wasn't having any of it (nightmare as I was out for day with only pram as car in for mot).
so,in car with mil and crying ds and she suggests, again, a dummy.
I hate the sound of him in distress but wanted to avoid a dummy if possible. ds is ebf and usually falls asleep whilst feeding so probably wouldn't use one to settle for naps - which I got the impression was all they should be used for.
this has ended up very long but suppose my question is:I am being daft for not giving him a dummy to keep him quiet in car/pram? I like all the cooing and 'chatting' when he's not crying!
