Use of dummies:
Research suggests that it’s best to avoid dummies in the first weeks after birth. That’s because they’re associated with a shorter duration of exclusive breastfeeding. For breastfeeding babies. Dummies may be introduced after the lactation is fully established i-e 4-6 weeks after birth,
However, in bottle-fed babies, dummies may be introduced anytime after birth. Keeping dummies clean and germ-free is also of crucial importance.
To keep a dummy clean and germ-free, it is important to follow a few simple steps:
- Wash the dummy with warm, soapy water before each use. Use a mild, unscented soap and make sure to rinse the dummy thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
- Sterilize the dummy by boiling it in water for 5-10 minutes. This is especially important in the first few months of a baby’s life when their immune system is still developing.
- Avoid sharing dummies with other children, as this can spread germs and increase the risk of infection.
- If the dummy falls on the ground, please discard it and use a new one until it is adequately sterilised.
- Regularly replace old or damaged dummies, as they can harbour bacteria and may not be as effective at soothing the baby.
