Advantages: None

Disadvantages: Possible cause of plenty of arguments and temper tantrums

Dummies have always been a pet hate of mine - if there's one thing I can't stand it's seeing a toddler with a dummy and refusing to go anywhere without it.

Thankfully, I've been blessed with two gorgeous daughters who've never needed to use one. Always laid back and VERY content, the thought of giving them a dummy never occured to me.

On the other hand, my friend has a 3 year old son. She's been trying for ages to get him out of the habit, but he still manages to sneak it into his pockets and out of the house.

The first time my eldest daughter saw it, bearing in mind she was just over 18 months old, she said "Mama, whassatt?" She hadn't a clue what to do with it - wonderful.

If you think you can get through the early baby stages without a dummy, then go for it. We did, and it's one things I'll always be grateful for. No screaming temper tantrums at bedtime because the dreaded dumdum has gone missing; no arguments and no prospect of her refusing to go to school without her beloved dumdum, because there's never been one!
