Took away dummy now problems at night

[purpleme12]

Took away my 2.5 little girl's dummy at weekend cold turkey as she'd bitten it really bad this time so it was no one's choice and in fact I would have quite happily kept going with it. Doing pretty ok in the day but getting to sleep is hard when before it was ok. But she's just cried and cried in her sleep just now and she's inconsolable writhing around and crying and thrashing about and I try to hug her but she pushed me away she pushes me away when I touch her I just can't do anything! so I just sat and cried! it's breaking my heart!

Buy another one and try again in a few months maybe. I'm all for what works and helps everyone sleep at night.

I'd get a new one !

I'd get a new one too.

I can't get another one she was biting them it's not safe and even if that wasn't the issue if I got another one all of this hurt would have been for nothing and then I really would feel mean. I was just looking for some emotional support really but doesn't matter. feel better about it today anyway

Slightly different but DD was a thumb sucker and injured her thumb at a similar age so couldn't suck it. She was very unsettled at night for a week or so and then adapted fine. She didn't go back to thumb sucking when her thumb healed either.
