Advantages: Just the right size

Disadvantages: None

OK, so it is the great dummy debate. I expect some of you will not let your child have a dummy, but I do. My feeling is that it is easier to "lose" a dummy than a thumb. Anyway that is another discussion entirely.

The Boots Newborn Soothers are designed especially for tiny mouths. The teat is smaller and flatter than on an ordinary dummy. They come in a twin pack and are basically white, but one has a mint trim and the other a yellow. They have a tiny moon and stars cut out pattern around the edge - a word of warning though if your little one has a powerful suck they can end up with a rather attractive celestial pattern around their mouths!

They are more of an oval design and shaped so as not to squash those tiny noses. They are just the perfect size for your newborns little face - because an ordinary sized dummy tends to look like a man-hole cover stuck on their tiny face.

As with all dummies they need to be sterilised regularly and replaced every 4 weeks or so. Unless of course they get damaged and then they must be thrown away immediately.

So if you decide to use a dummy for you newborn, invest in the Boots Newborn Soothers - they are just the job and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
