Hi, I am new on here so this is my first post. I have 2 daughters, eldest is 4.5 and the youngest is 3, they both still use dummies. I know you will probably think that I am a crap mum for letting them have dummies this long, but there are not really any problems. We had the dentist check their teeth about a month ago, and he said they were perfect, he couldn't tell they had dummies. The only reason I am worried about this is that I have been getting a lot of comments about it from family members, mainly my mother in law, and my sister in law. They have been telling me that my girls are way too old to be sucking dummies, and the more they tell me that, I start to doubt my decision.
Are they too old to still have dummies?
Should I take them away?
