The Gentle Dummy Guide is written for parents who want to make confident decisions about using a dummy (pacifier) with their baby. Whether you’re breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, or combination feeding, this guide will help you understand how dummies affect sucking skills, tongue function, reflux, and sleep. It’s designed for newborns, infants, and older babies who are still comfort sucking. This resource is based on IBCLC-level knowledge and clinical experience working with families navigating feeding challenges, tongue ties, and oral development.
