I’ll happily use a dummy at your newborn photo shoot if you’d like me to.
wouldn’t ever use a dummy on your child if it didn’t already belong to you, and I’m certainly not going to wade into the dummy or no dummy debate. If you have one, it can be a useful tool for soothing your baby to sleep, so I’ll use it if we think it will help. If you don’t want to give your baby a dummy, that’s no issue with me, we’ll get there by other means. These are your parenting decisions, and I’m not going to have an opinion either way.
