The Gentle Dummy Guide: Feeding, Oral Development & Safe Dummy Use
Not sure which dummy is actually safe for your baby?
Worried it might affect breastfeeding, sleep or oral development?
This evidence-based Dummy Guide shows you exactly how to choose the right pacifier for your baby, without causing feeding issues, tension or long-term oral development concerns.
Created by an Endorsed Midwife, IBCLC and Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist, this guide cuts through the noise and gives you clear, practical answers you can trust.
Why this guide matters
Most advice around dummies is confusing, outdated or overly simplified.
Parents are told:
“It doesn’t matter which one you use”
“Just try a few and see what works”
“They’re all basically the same”
But the wrong dummy can:
Impact latch and feeding
Increase air intake and reflux symptoms
Affect oral development and tongue function
Contribute to unsettled sleep
This guide helps you avoid that completely.
Inside you’ll learn:
How to choose a dummy that supports breastfeeding and bottle feeding
Which shapes support oral function and which ones can work against it
How to avoid worsening reflux, wind or feeding tension
How dummy use impacts your baby’s palate, airway and jaw development
When to use a dummy (and when not to)
How to confidently wean when the time is right
Perfect for babies who:
Are breastfed, bottle-fed or combination fed
Struggle with latch, clicking or feeding discomfort
Have reflux, wind or unsettled behaviour
Show signs of oral tension or feeding fatigue
Use a dummy regularly (or you’re considering introducing one)
The outcome
Know exactly which dummy to use, when to use it and how to avoid feeding or oral development issues.
No more guessing. No more trying 5 different dummies hoping one “works”.
