Toddler developing dummy teeth.worried

My 2 year old is heavily reliant on the dummy I.e asking all the time for it, and especially reliant for sleep. Is naughty, agitated without it. But 'dummy teeth' are emerging and I'm desperate to wean effectively without causing severe distress (he has extreme abandonment fear I.e extreme clinginess to me extreme meltdowns if I go upstairs to the loo etc) any ideas for quick and effective weaning?

Take her to one of those Build A Bear places and put the dummy inside a teddy that she can then cuddle? My cousin did this with her DD and it worked well. Her DD was a bit older though.

Could you replace it with something 'special' of yours that he could cuddle? My nephew had his dummy replaced by one of sister's nighties! He loved it. He still sleeps with it under his pillow and he's 11!

I looking for a replacement that isn't either food or thumb related but fulfills comfort needs.

Like maybe a toy or something as a distraction when he asks for dummy.

I told my ds that Santa was taking it to give to poorly babies in hospital, this prob wouldn't work for you, personally I wouldn't worry too much now as these are baby teeth that will fall out and concentrate on getting rid before adult teeth, good luck

And when he'd been without it a week or so he got a fireman Sam toy for being a big boy!!
