Controlled crying and dummy please help

[MillyStar]

Evening!

My daughter is 14 months old and has gone to bed with a dummy since being 6 months old, same at nap time she doesn't sleep without one

I'm still cuddling her to sleep but planning on leaving her to cry this week. When I've left her for a few minutes she throws her dummy out of the cot and also any that are in there with her toys they all end up on the floor

Should I go in and put them back with no eye contact or would you leave her to cry without one?

Have you tried pick up/put down baby whisperer method?

I would leave her to cry and then after whatever time period you choose to do the CC go in and give her back the dummy, tell her its bed time in a very calm voice and leave - & repeat.

If you go in everytume she throws the dummy she will soon learn its an easy way to get you back in the room.

Ps I don't think PU/PD method would have much affect in a 14month old

You really can't jump from cuddling her to sleep to leaving her to cry. That is going to be far too much for her to process.

I agree, leaving her to cry for some time is the best way to go because babies are great at receiving subtle signals. Not seeing you rush to the room after every single dummy throwing episode would make it clear that crying is not going to work.

No problem with having babies play for as long as they can, but when it's time to bed, you may want to set the threshold pretty early.

Take care and love

Have you tried the dummy clips that fix them onto the child's clothes with a little ribbon?

Like these.

So she's always been cuddled to sleep, but you're suddenly going to start leaving her to cry? Do you think this is going to work?

why the massive leap, can't you sit with her/hold her hand, and get her used to not being cuddled gradually?
