He had tiny nappies and a dummy the size of a 10p piece.

I'm not a Brit, but I'm pretty confident that 'nappies' are diapers, but I'm having to guess that a 'dummy' in this context is a baby's teething-sucker.

Never, fear, there are many FReepers in the UK who will be along shortly and correct me if I'm wrong   :-)
