We’ve had an email from Gary, saying:
I have found a few leftover babies’ dummies and dummy cases whilst doing some tidying in the kitchen.
Rather than throwing them away I wondered if there was any way to reuse or recycle them.
Good suggestion, Gary. There must be millions of those things lying around in households around the country.
The only thing I can think to do with them is to give them to teenagers who want “ironic” jewellery :) But any other suggestions?
DOWNTIME INFO: Just in case anyone noticed, we’ve been down for six hours this afternoon - our entire (huge) hosting service went down because of the floods. Everything looks to be up again now and hopefully they’ve got giant sandbags on standby for next time.

you might call around to pediatrician’s offices. *IF* they can be sterilized, they might know of a place you can send them.

Send them to a charity shop?
I wonder if there’s a company who sends them to people in developing countries?

Why would anyone in a developing country want this mother child separating device? Only westerners who are so alienated and filled with shame of anything natural and vulnerable like breastfeeding would think such an invention had any merit. Create an organisation which collects them and make a huge work of art protesting their very existence.

Goodness, a few very anti-dummy comments here. Current advice in the UK says all babies should be settled to sleep with dummies to prevent SIDS so I guess there will be a whole lot more of them about now! I would probably give them to older children to play with for their dolls, most can be sterilised but I imagine people might feel a bit odd about having a used dummy for their baby.

Wow, I definately had to read this post just to find out what a baby dummy was…here in the states we call them pacifiers.
What about giving some to dog kennels? Quite a few puppies like sucking or chewing on these (my shih-tzu did, even when he was no longer a puppy.)
