What happens if you ignore her calling?
What happens if you take the dummy away?
She is quite old to still have a dummy.
I think you may have to toughen up and stick out the screaming til she gives it up.
She is using this as a way of getting your attention.
If it was me I'd perhaps go in once. Give it back to her and then make it very clear that I wasn't coming back. Then I wouldn't be going back!
Unfortunately at the moment she's got used to you coming running. I think it's going to be a battle but you need to persevere.
