Getting rid of a dummy!!

[astridoo]

Please give me your best tips on how on earth to get rid of the dummy!!

My ds is 2 next week and still has a dummy. He has is a lot. Always at home, in the car, asleep, in the pram, at friends houses. The only time he doesn't have it is when we're out in public like the supermarket, park, soft play etc etc (unless he's in the pram).

I want it gone so bad, but I'm mortified because he is absolutely obsessed and has to know exactly where there is one and when we get out the car to go somewhere he has to know where I've put it in the car and I have to reassure him it'll be fine and it'll be safe 🤦‍♀️

Help please!! What have I done!

Ha! Mine was the same @CathyorClaire! I can picture her now, spread eagled and asleep with the three dummies. But at least it meant when she stirred in the night, even if the one in her mouth had fallen out and down the side of the cot, there were no dramas!

Of course I had been the pregnant mum whose child was NEVER going to have a dummy 😅

We cut it down to nighttime’s when he was about 3 and then not at all. Replaced it with a soft toy at bedtime. He’s 5 now and my friends daughter visited and had a dummy. His little face lit up as he remembered having a ‘doya.’

Dummy fairy takes them away and gives a small teddy instead as the babies need the dummies now and he is a big boy ect wait till after his birthday though and a few hard days and he will be ok and bin them all on bin day

Ds had his dummy until just before he started school, I didn't worry too much about it. He had muslins with a dummy at each corner. He could go all day at preschool without it but the moment he got in the car seat he always wanted it. One day just before he started school he just said "no dummy, I'm a big boy now" He never had it again.
