Tips for getting rid of the dummy?

My 16 month old has a dummy that I would really like to get rid of. I think at this point it's keeping her awake (playing with it, throwing it out of the cot) and is contributing to her sleep going to crap since Christmas since she seems to wake up every hour. She only gets it for nap and bed time.

Any tips on how to get rid?

Our DS gave his to the dummy fairy after reading this book but he was 2, so had more comprehension. Not sure if it would work for 16-month-old but sharing just in case it’s helpful Florrie the Dummy Fairy https://amzn.eu/d/2PH1C8z

We just went cold turkey at about 18 months I think. At the time she went to playgroup where there was a young baby, we told her that baby needed to dummy and ‘gave’ her dummy to the baby. There were 2 days I think of her being upset at the start of bedtime (she only had the dummy to to sleep with) but then she was fine.
