Recommendations for stronger dummies for an 18 month old

[ArizonaOne]

DS is biting through his dummies far too quickly and having to replace more often. Does anyone have a recommendation of stronger dummies that last?

He is 18 months old, I do know that it is best to just wean him off them, however we go on holiday next month and we are waiting till we return home so not too much change to deal with all at once (also to help with the plane journey!)

Perhaps helpful to know what brands you’ve tried

Of course, apologies. We have been using MAM dummies and up till now they have been fine. Have just given him a new one today and he has already broken the teat!

Does he have them during the day? I’d probably keep them just for sleep time and then immediately take away when he wakes (we’re a bit past the dummy phase now but I think that’s what’s recommended after 12 months anyway??) so there’s less incentive to play with/chew them and hopefully they’ll last a bit longer. Not to mention better for teeth.

Sometimes he does if he is upset as it calms him, yes. Definitely trying to only keep for naps/bedtimes though!

The dummies are all breaking because they're not designed to be bitten by little people with strong jaws and lots of teeth! "Next month" is a long time away for an 18 month old; you have time to let the dummy fairy visit before your holiday. At least give it a go, might be easier than you think.

A few weeks ago I could have written your post OP. It was costing a small fortune each week as the dummies were lasting a day or two at most. We switched to the Frigg silicone dummies - totally different shape to the MAM ones but DD took to them straight away. We’ve managed to get them down to only being used for settling down time for naps and bed time and are hoping we can get rid of them altogether before she’s 2. For some reason she doesn’t bite the Frigg dummies like she did the MAM ones.

Latex dummies (the yellowish opaque ones rather than the clear silicone ones) were so much better for our DC. Much more durable.

Link just as an example of the type we used to get.

I don't understand why you wouldn't wean him off it if he's already biting it and you're not going away til next month!

Yes, you do understand.

What you mean is that you think the OP is making a poor choice and that she should do it differently.

Fine, but own it. Don’t hide behind lack of comprehension.

Ok if you say so

Tommee Tippee do an 18-36 month range which my daughter loved. Teeth and mouth checked by dentist and all good.

Thank you very much for your response. I will have a look into those.

Thank you so much for your response

Thank you!

I guess its the thought of having something to calm him on the plane and being in a different place to home. Thanks for your advice, I may well do that.

Also, please don’t worry about dummies and their teeth. Our three gave theirs up no problem, with the help of this book that was recommended to me by another Mumsnetter! Teeth all ok. Normal orthodontics needs for two out of three of them but those are genetic.
