We did try giving him one when he wasn't upset but he just spat it out. Can't blame him really it's a funny bit of plastic to shove into his mouth.
When we tried it today though it only took him a couple of seconds to get used to it and then he stopped crying and was happy on his own with it in the bouncy chair for a long while.
Later we went out to the Hackspace for me to do a bit of soldering and Michael mostly slept though that.
In the evening Rocio had a bath with Michael which was fun. Michael floated and fed at the same time. He loved that. It's real luxury for him. Rocio says unfortunately there are no photos of that and if there are we are not putting them here.
The main problem with Michael feeding in the bath is that feeding can take a long time and the bath gets cold and when you force him to finish feeding early he gets really upset.
I was always a fan of dummies, ignore the 'it'll give him buck-teeth' crowd who are anti-dummies. On journeys or times when a stressed out Michael is the last thing you need I strongly suggest you attach the dummy to him in a safe way, as loss of a dummy can really make the day much harder!
