some children are into them and some aren't. think of it as a good thing. he obviously doesn't feel the need for one.
my son was permenently attached to his, couldn't get it away from him. Suddenly he hates it.

There could be many reasons, try another comfort instead. Maybe a big teddy or a soft blanket. Some people find them better than a dummy because they doesn't harm the baby in any way. Whilst a dummy can harm the baby's teeth once they start growing.

Sucking is a baby's primary source of comfort, if not a dummy then a bottle or breast. Your baby is probably making it up somewhere else. Parents who don't offer anything for a baby suck on before 3 months should know that they are taking away their opportunity to comfort themselves, after that time they start to find their own hands and can suck on them! If your baby is calm and not crying then she doesn't need a dummy, she's obviously happy and isn't that the most important thing?!

omg look at all you mums passing judgment on dummies, you as mums should know better than that, every baby is different, and some like dummies while some dont, who is wrong, the mother who is determined to not use dummy and has upset child, or the mum who finds solution to baby's crying and need for sucking, i think the latter, you could try a cherry teat dummy, i find that the flat teat dummies are harder for the baby to hold in mouth. best of luck, and always do what you have to to have a happy stress free parenting experience, so many mums out there put tremendous pressure on themselves because of silly comments like you have had, do what is best for you and remember, you dont have to make it even harder on yourself! x

because she hasn't been influenced with one i assume. my daughter would never take a dummy either, to which i am thankful for as her cousin(s) did. Going to bed my daughter simply sucks her thumb, the cousins have to have their dummy, etc.. plus we don't have to wean her off the dummy. Personally think it is better as you feel (even at a young age) self comfort. no need for accessories.

I have never heard of a dummy. Everyone else seems to know.

Because your baby is obviously more intelligent than you are. Dummies are horrible, unhygienic things used by lazy parents to keep their babies quiet.

If you're baby is a newborn its probably because they are so tough, sometimes if you buy a preemie one it helps but I noticed they tend to give a lot of colic to smaller babies. My two boys used one but both my girls hated them. You just have to find something that they like, soft blankie, stuffed animal, certain types of fabric bring them solace, things that they can associate with you.
