Dummies and breastfeeding

Nicola

My beautiful baby boy is 4 weeks old and exclusively breastfed.

He’s so unsettled at times and wants to just suckle sometimes - so thinking that it may be time for a dummy however I’ve heard it’s not good to give breastfed babies a dummy before they are at least 8-12 weeks old.

Does anyone have any advice or have any experience with giving a dummy to a breastfed babe
