My son will be 2 at the end of January, he's had a dummy since he was about 3 months old.
He does not have it during the day, it is only for nap time and for the night. He knows where the dummy lives and gives it up on most mornings (every now and then there are a few tears but nothing major). It is a blessing because if he starts crying in his cot, he finds his dummy himself and it calms him right down.
What's the best way to go about it? Is it best to wait until he actually understands and we can tell him? Or just go cold Turkey?
We are having baby number 2 in May, and I want him weaned off by then as I'm worried he's steal the baby's dummy (if baby takes one and if we choose to give one) but in general, he'll almost be 2 1/2 and I do think it's good to get rid of it.
