Dd3 is 2.3 yo and is far more attached to her dummy than I would like
I'm trying to limit her time of having her dummy, but tbh she's not taking to it very well.
She knows dummies are for babies and will often give me hers declaring that she doesn't need it because she's a big girl, only to come for it 5 minutes later telling me actually she's still a baby and can she have her dummy back
I'm not concerned about her speech (it's excellent) and her pronunciation is good too, so that's not a problem. I'm worried about her teeth though as I know that dummys can affect the way her mouth forms, in fact I'm worried that the damage has already been done.
So, back to my title - at what age did your dc ditch their dummy, and how did you do it?
Have considered her giving them to Father Christmas but don't know if she's a little young for that?
