I understand why you would want to introduce the dummy when she is hard to settle but introducing it this late in the game isn’t the best idea. if she doesn’t want it there is no point forcing it!

The brand can make a difference, but perhaps she will never take one. It’s not a bad thing – try putting something sweet on it to begin with (provided she’s already on solids)

I don’t know if you have been informed by professionals , but dummies are not good for the teeth especially at this type of age. I would talk to the childhood nurse and see if you can find alternatives. As kids get older you want them OFF the dummy not on . Both of mine hated dummies , not sure if it was because they were bottle fed and it was soothing enough . They also liked teething toys and teething bisuits to chew on .

Neither of my children would take a dummy and really they didn’t need it. Some kids do and some don’t, if your child doesn’t want it don’t lush it. It is also a hard habit to break later in anyway

my kids never did. don’t think you should be making her. there are lots of ways to settle bub, try asking your CHN for help?

You could put something on the end of it, to make it taste better than rubber. Try jam or similar.

Some babies just do and others just don’t, you can’t force a child to take a dummy

I wouldn’t force a dummy on a child, my daughter loves it way too much when she sleeps and it is now so hard to take away from her

I just think that it’s one of those things were some bubs will, some bubs won’t. Maybe try different brands with teats that look different.

Did they end up taking the dummy in the end?

Some babies just simply are not dummy likers.

You also have to remember that it will be hard to take the dummy away when they are older

How did it go? Did you end up giving your 8 month old a dummy?

Try some different brands. I found the avent orthodontic ones best. Some babies just don’t take to a dummy at all. At 8 months it may be a bit hard to introduce a dummy

Yes brands do make difference. My daughter only took nuk

Keep in mind that dummy’s ruin your Childs teeth it decays them and they rot, good luck

Not all baby’s “take to” the dummy my son hated dummys and I thought that was excellent

not all baby like dummy. My son dont like. So if yourchuld dont want to use it then use other method to soothe.

not all baby like dummy. My son dont like.

Try several – I found nuk was the only one my lil one would take and I had to put milk on it at first
