    Mine went to the poor babies whose mummies didn't have enough money to buy them.

    My little man just didn't want one, one night, nor the next night, nor the next...

    I didn't say he couldn't have it, or mention anything to stop him having it, so I was pretty lucky really!

    Better a dummy used as a pacifier than a sausage roll, as I have seen many times around here.

    <<<<< Lives in close proximity to a Greggs.

    Oh no I'm awful then since my squeak sometimes has one on chilly mornings after the school run :rotfl:

    Either that or I get the coffee shop to fill her beaker with hot milk.

    My 6 year old informed me a few weeks ago that hot milk 'feels like sundays' :D

    I'm partial to a greggs dummy myself after the school run :rotfl:

    DS1 loved his Dummy but luckily the 'dummy fairy' worked a treat!

    DS2 wouldnt have one no matter how hard I tried, they really do come in handy for a quick fix 'shut up'.

    Some babies just seem to need something, and if you have to cook or pay attention to another child etc. you can't spend every second of your life comforting a cling-on.

    My eldest didn't feel this dummy urge at all, and I used to be all smug about my nephews having them and mine not needing one. How little I knew!!

    Please don't feel bad :) I know the type of parents you meant, the child will always be jammed in a buggy and mum will be on the phone blowing smoke all over them :o

    The odd sausage roll does not a chav make :)

    Anyway good luck getting squeak to stay in a buggy when not moving, unless she's cream crackered she says 'out, out' and 'walk' or 'seat' and if that doesn't work and she hasn't got out (if we are waiting for a bus on a busy road or something) she tries to escape anyway :rotfl:
