DD is 3 but very mature 3 year old. She still has a dummy. Totally my fault for leaving her with it this long, I had a dummy myself till I was 10!! I missed out a lot because I couldn't go to sleepovers, had embarrassing moments where my friends found it under my pillow etc. So I've decided it's time for DD to give it up.
I tried the whole cutting it down method but it didn't work - she would still whinge for it when she was tired and always ask for it before bed. I tried the dummy fairy - she wasn't having any of it even though I persevered with stories, YouTube videos etc.
So I've decided to go cold turkey with her yesterday. Last night she had a god almighty tantrum which lasted about an hour and eventually wore herself from screaming and fell asleep. Woke up this morning feeling proud of herself, hasn't asked for it all day but tonight again we've had a tantrum - she's still up there screaming now. I'm crying down here and I'm buckling.
Please someone tell me what to do!!! AIBU to make her go cold turkey???
