17 month old biting through dummies?

[Summerandsparkle]

This past week DD has been biting through several dummies on both sides and I’m so worried as it is obviously a choking hazard.

Although she has slightly pulled back from using them recently, we have always relied on them to calm her down when teething and at nap/ bed time.

If this happened to you did you go cold turkey? I’m so worried about going back to sleepless nights but equally- I don’t think that I can trust her with them anymore.

Please help!

Stop using them. A child doesn't need one at that age anyway.

Yes absolutely go cold turkey. Such a horrendous choking risk. It won’t be as bad as you fear!

Thanks. I think I need to see this as a positive thing as she’s obviously ready because she’s not using them properly anyway.

We’ve just relied on them a lot as she’s been a crier from day1. Maybe losing it will make her more relaxed in a way as at least she won’t be asking for it...

I'm going through this my little boy has been biting through all his dummies recently I'm worried sick that hie will choke so we have taken away his dummy and tonight the first night without one very nervous on how he will be his struggling without his dummy tonight but trying not to give in
