How often do you change dummies?

[princess_bump]

Just wondering how often you change your LO's dummies/paci's for a new one's, like you would new teats on bottles x

the dummies i bought were for 0-3 so i will change after that...check the age on your ones....

It depends on how many I've got. For 3-6 months I had 6 of them so only recently changed them.

ours dont last long mainly because she has such a strong suck and wears them out or chews a massive hole in them!

lol normally change them as soon as he llooses them throws them out the pram and stuff normally within a week or so of me buying it

I guess those little clippy things don't work at his age??

Used to change teats/dummies every 1-3 months if I remember correctly. As Bethanie doesn't have her dummy much now, it's more like every 3 months.

[ryder]

I have so many, I havent changed them yet... I thought I read that you change them if they get cracked or whatever...?

I was told to change dummies pretty often, every 4 weeks or so. Not that I do this but I do try to change them every couple of months. We usually have at least 4 on hand because Hannah likes to throw them/drop them etc. so none of them are used that often

i read we should replace them every 3 months. i'm just "upgrading" to 6 months + ones now so i guess i'll hrow his old ones out. I suppose now he ahs teeth i should be more vigilent.

I read on a pack of dummy's to replace monthly (?) or when damaged or worn.
Weve been rotating 4 dummys so have just replaced them.

Thanks to this thread ive just changed Brookes dummys and theyre working a treat!!

She had some newborn ones and the teat bit was really flat and sometimes she struggled with it and didnt seem that content so ive just given her a cherry one and she's much better!!
