Okay, so the story is: DS was waking up a stupid amount of times during the night when his dummy fell out, so we decided to go cold turkey and got rid of it. We're not anti-dummy at all - but after he woke up ten times in one hour, it was the route we took. (In hindsight, perhaps he was waking due to teething anyway?) At first it was brilliant and he sleeps SO much better (deeper) without the dummy. We have still cracked the nighttime - he grizzles for a little bit and then we don't hear from him for another 12 hours. But the daytime naps have deteriorated. We never had a daytime nap routine but would go down happily enough with the dummy when he was sleepy (rubbing eyes etc.) Now, even when he's absolutely exhausted, he screams bloody murder as soon as I try to lie him down. I've even tried methods which would just create a prop to replace the dummy - he won't be rocked to sleep, he won't sleep in our bed, he won't play with toys in his cot, he won't be stroked, hushing, singing. I don't want to give him the dummy again - although he was happy to have it, he sleeps so much better without it (when he does get to sleep). Any suggestions would be muchly appreciated!!
