Dummy Regression

When my DD was born I gave her a dummy as I thumb sucked until i was 14 and thought that weaning of a dummy would be easier than a thumb. My DD had other ideas and at 3 months spat out the dummy and found her thumb. Now at 3.5 she has found her cousins dummy and wants to suck it all the time. At first I let her as o thought she was just playing g at being a baby, but 3 days later she wants it all the time. Should I be worried? Should I go with it and then wean her off like I would have done if she'd always had it? Confused

I don't know if this will help but
I have two DS aged 3 + 2 years I went a brought a massive hillume balloon told the boys we have to send the dummy's to the fairys and attached all the dummy's in the house to the balloon and sent it off into the sky! First two nights they was upset explained the new baby's need them now so the dummy fairy has taken them after that never said a word about them again now three months on and there far from bothered about it.
My son sucked his thumb for three nights after losing the dummy and I had a chat about germs he won't put fingers in his mouth anymore and hasn't done it since

I hope this helps
