Dummy biter

Hi there
My DD 2.5 loves her dummy but she has started to bite into it. I thought this was what they do when they start to wean off of it but she cries if she picks one up that she's chewed and starts crying and saying 'another one, another one.' I'm not really sure why she's doing this, any advice? Thanks

Because her teeth and bite is now stronger and the plastic is now easy to bite through.
My son did this at 2.5, as soon as he started I removed the dummies. It’s too much of a choke hazard.. It was hard for the first two nights, then he was absolutely fine! I’d say ditch the dummy now Smile it’s not worth the risk of choking on or swallowing plastic
