DS has had a dummy since birth (he is 23 months) For a long time now he has only had a dummy when he goes to sleep (nap and bedtime) and usually in the car.
Lately he is REALLY getting stressed if you dont give one to him A LOT more often than he has had it in the past. I dont mind him having it at the regular times but just dont want to see it in his mouth all the time during the day. Also he speaks so well, I dont want to impair that in any way.
I dont know what to do. I know he needs it as a comfort thing so dont want to deprive him of it. I wanted to long term BF which I imagined would be his comfort sucking thing as I know its a normal need but we were not able to do that.
What should I do?
