HELP.. how do I get dd off her dummy? she's 3

[Sharon1972]

Trying desperatly to get my dd off her dummy at night, just been to dentist and she has told me that the bones in her mouth are starting to mishape, but the reality is she is absolutly inconsolable when we have taken it away and won't be reasoned with, it wouldn't be so bad if she spat it out when asleep but it's well and truly clamped between her teeth. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

we gave to santa at xmas when ds was 2.5yrs old - he was really hooked. we warned him about it in advance and talked about how exciting it was (!!) and buzz lightyear was left in their place the next morning.

He has only mentioned them about 5 times since - totally ok about it and I really wasn't expecting it. Just as a warning though - he did become exceedingly clingy for a couple of weeks though - had to keep him off nursery for a week just to rebuild his confidence!

Go for it - maybe the easter bunny would like the dummies?
