My DD has a dummy at night and nap times in her cot (doesn't have it for naps in pram or car). I never really wanted her to have a dummy but she was terribly colicky in her first few weeks which badly disrupted her sleep and in the end she took to a dummy which seemed to settle her - I was so desparate I would have tried anything! Anyway, she is now 6 months and her colic is well behind her. She has never been a brilliant sleeper but she doesn't do badly. She is still ebf and wakes twice in the night for a feed but settles back well with her dummy. She occasionally wakes because she has lost her dummy, but not very often. So, should I wean her off it now or should I be thinking if it ain't broke, don't fix it!? I wonder whether I should be letting her self settle on her own without any props. Thing is, I know she will cry without it as she always cries for a couple of seconds when I put her down until I give it to her. I can not/ will not let her cry so am I setting myself up for a fall? If I should wean her now, how should I settle her instead?!
