AIBU to just let her be? (DD6 night routine related).

OK deep breath.. AIBU to change DD’s bedtime routine, or should I just leave her be? Although she’s hit all of her developmental milestones she still goes to bed with a dummy and a Pull-up. DD is just about to turn 6. She’s happy, confident, has plenty of friends at school and is in the top groups for phonics. She’s also tall, sporty and Neuro-typical. No developmental/behavioural issues that we’re aware of. She’s very well behaved and sleeps soundly. She’s grown up so quickly it just sort of crept up on us that she’s nearly 6 and still using them. I abroached the subject with her gently (not wishing to create any traumas by just going cold turkey) and she told me she wants to keep them as they help her to sleep and keep her cozy. Conflicting advice from parents (cold turkey) and best friend (leave her be).
