Suddenly refuses to take the Dummy
Hi Helen

Ever since my twins were born they have been very fond of their dummies, however, the last two weeks my 4 months old son does no longer want his dummy. He gets absolutely mad.

We have tried to replace the dummy with a new one, but without any luck. He sometimes sucks on the back of his hand in his sleep, but gets very angry as it does not feel right. He is developing very fast right now (which is quite trying), and it would therefore be very comforting for him to have his dummy.

He still wants the bottle, and we have checked whether there is something in his mouth that might irritate bim, but cannot see anything.

He has been so fond of his dummy, so we do not understand at all!!!

Best regards
Rikke
