DS is 2.5, and has a dummy for naptime and bedtime, although we also give it to him sometomes if he manages to injure himself too badly (say, by walking into the head-height table, or seriously scraping himself). He has fallen asleep without it when we're out but it takes waaay longer. we would have started ditching it already, but I also have a 7wo DD, and wanted him to have time to get used to her before whipping his dummy away. We've also put off moving him out of his cot and any solid attempts at potty training, since he seems indifferent to it anyway.
DP and I agreed that when DD was about 2months we'd go cold turkey on the dummy, because it's gotten to the stage where he throws a paddy, gets all upset and then weepily asks for his dummy. (It doesn't work, but I can't help admiring his nerve.) We're all getting fed up with it now though, and it makes naptimes a pain beause he asks to go down for a nap long before he's actually tired - so that he can have the dummy. Still, we're not sure it it's the right time to take it away yet; he still gets upset when he wants a cuddle but I'm feeding DD so can't, for example.
Is it still too early, or should we just go for it? What have other people done?
