DD2 is 14mo, she has left her dummy in the car this morning and we've avoided it since. She asked for it once and i just said no so off she went.

So tonight i'm going cold turkey, but she still gets a bottle at night and i don't want her trying to use that as a comfort. Just now she drinks her bottle downstairs and goes to bed awake and settles fine.

So should i go for bottle too or is it too much?

Too much.

Why don;t you want her using a bottle as comfort?

DD1 used her bottle to get to sleep, it was a nightmare and even now she doesn't settle to sleep well (2.8yo).

i kind of thought that the bottle was too much, so we'll just see how she goes with no dummy. I just don't want her replacing the dummy with something else to go to sleep and would rather she settled herself.

i will get the dummy from the car just in case and if we succeed then i'll try the bottle in a few months.
