For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.in our experience the trick is to have the baby in the cot next to the bed with the side down....so that the cot is like an extension to the bed...and that the parent who can manage on less sleep, or is the lightest sleeps next to the cot....if the baby stirs pop the dummy back in quickly...we used them for all of our three....the trick is to get to them to soothe them before they wake up properly and thus, from the baby's point of view, their sleep is unbroken. The trick is to establish a routine....our first child slept through from 4 weeks, our second from two weeks and our third, we had it down to a tee by then, slept through on his first night home from hospital.
All I can say is that this worked for us.

Yes for us. Son was impossible and slept one hour every 24 for the first 9 months.Daughter is now 10 weeks and sleeping about 9-10 hours a night. Neither have had a dummy.hope daughter continues to sleep(son is now 2 and a half and sleeps 12 hours every night,so at least we dont have Mrs Overall s problems)
I have two boys, both always been excellent sleepers and have friends with a girl who was a nightmare so don't think there is an absolute rule. Mine never had or wanted a dummy either so nothing to have to shove back in. They developed a habit of sucking on the corner of the sheets which wasn't too bad and they soon gave that up.
When I had my son he started sleeping through from about 6 weeks by this I mean from about 9pm until about 7am every night. When my daughter was born my mother who had 5 children of both sexes said you will never get another sleeper llike him and I did she was only 4 weeks old. However if son has to get up early he gets up no bother, but trying to get daughter up is a nightmare!!!!
No - apparently I was a nightmare (!) about sleeping as a baby and unfortunately it has been the same all my life - my mother had to drive around at night in a very old landrover to get me to sleep even for a little while! But I think that my two sisters were quite good sleepers, but my eldest sister didn't want to eat at all (that's changed - she's a gannet now!) and my middle sister was good in most respects, I gather.
