My ds has just turned two. He's been very good in most ways, he's always been a good sleeper and he weaned himself off the bottle when he was about 14 months. He doesn't have any other comforters except for his dummy, which I only give to him for his daytime sleep. Initially, I was hoping he would no longer be using it by the time he turned one, but he still loves having it for his nap so I keep letting it go. The trouble is that when he was very sick a few weeks ago, I let him lie on the couch with a blanket and his dummy because it seemed to comfort him, and now that he's better he's been wanting it again when he gets tired in the late afternoon. DH and I think it's best if he only has the dummy for his naps so we haven't been giving it to him, and now of course ds doesn't like this very much. I guess he'll get over it soon but I'm just wondering what others think about an appropriate age for giving up the dummy. Is he too old to still have it or do you think I should let it go for a bit longer? My MIL told me once that she hates seeing toddlers with a dummy in their mouths so I feel a bit uncomfortable with the fact that he still uses it. What do you think?
