Our DD has recently turned 3 and still uses a dummy overnight for sleep, and a couple of times a week when she naps in bed at home. She's very very attached to them and even talking about the prospect of not using them makes her uncomfortable. She has always been a pretty good sleeper generally, I've put that down mostly to the dummies!
She will be moving to the preschool at her nursery in September and I've been trying to reinforce the message that she will be too big for dummies then. She doesn't seem best pleased to say the least...! She had a dental check up recently and the dentist wasn't concerned and everything looked fine but obviously they did advise that the sooner we get rid, the better, to avoid problems developing. The only thing is, I'm pregnant and due no.2 early October and it's highly likely we will give this baby a dummy very early on. I'm worried that this might make it more difficult for DD if she can't have one anymore when her baby sibling can, and I'm also worried about her sleep potentially going to pot just when I need it to be as good as it can be!
Wwyd? Stick to the preschool timing? Get rid sooner? Although we are going away for a few days in about a month and I definitely don't want to do it before then to ensure she sleeps ok on our trip so it wouldnt really be much sooner anyway. Or just leave it for her whilst she adapts to her baby sibling and get rid at say Christmas when she can swap it for presents or something?
