She owns and runs Baby Bliss – an advisory and support service for babies and their parents. Focussing on feeding, settling and sleeping routines for babies, Ryan has seen first-hand the effect a dummy can have on a child - both positive and negative. She admits that, “some parents have enormous guilt about giving their baby a dummy”, but knows that a dummy can be of real benefit in certain situations. At the same, Ryan believes that introducing the dummy too late or giving a baby the dummy at the wrong time can create bad habits that are very hard to break.
