Dummies are great
There is nothing like dummies. Instant relaxation. Portable. Non-poisonous. Addictive, maybe, but it is that wonderful state of floating well-being that's addictive, not the plastic.

They are my own baby-multi-tool. I don't know why Mum won't have a taste. I'm willing to share, and sometimes push them into her mouth really hard, but she's still not interested. Well, I'll persevere. These days, at naptime, I snuggle on mummy's lap with two or three dummies and suck them in turn, savouring the different flavours until my eyes close. Bliss. Catherine
