Advice for removing dummy from 1 year old!

[Chans11]

Hi

has anyone got any advice on getting rid of dummy from a 1 year old? Is only used for sleep but having to do the dummy run a few times a night so think it needs to go as she purposely spits it out aswel!

thanks

Have you tried leaving several glow in the dark dummies in the cot? Ds would find them himself. We recently stopped dummies at 2.3, he understood that 'the dummies were going back to the shop for the babies'. He was gine with that. Any earlier then that would have upset him too much.

Several glow in the dark dummies worked with ours for a while and then he started to chew through them so they had to go.

Sorry to say but cold turkey was the best and easiest solution to the problem. No point in dragging it out and at 1 he forgot pretty quickly so in hindsight it was for the best in the long run.

We had 2 tough nights but it was better than prolonging the inevitable.

have tried glow in dark ones but still the same! Might sound like a silly wuestion but what did you do to settle them without it? Thanks

Not a silly question at all. We used shush pat and it worked well. I'm not going to pretend there were no tears at all but it was short lived and better than the risk of him swallowing a piece of the dummy.

Think will give it a go at the weekend! Thanks for the advice
