Need some advice /moral support / prayers to the dummy God.
My son has had a dummy since the health visitor advised it when he was a few months old. It has been a lifesaver as he had silent reflux so mostly it allowed us a way to soothe him quicker, and saliva is a natural antacid. Mostly great.
He is almost 2. No reflux issues any longer and I hate that dummy. Always have.. but it helped him.
He doesn't have it at all during the day. Only for naps and sleep. Only in the cot. And at nursery 3 days a week he naps fine without one now - has done for months.
We are going to try cold turkey from tomorrow night while my husband is on holiday.
How awful is this going to be? Any advice? My son won't understand the concept of a dummy fairy. He already has a comforter to sleep with. I don't think cutting a hole in one would help as he will just get frustrated and not sure its safe.
Can't think of a better strategy than just taking it away and riding out whatever nightmare ensues..
Send help!!
