How long does the crying last?

oh no I am dreading doing this to Noah and Lola, Sienna was really good with it we cut the tip off it told her it was broken and put it in the bin she was 20mths tho, how old is your little girl??

No if there are big changes I wouldn't take it away from her, have you tried saying its only for sleeps etc?? I do that first so its a gradual thing

We has big problems with the dummy. Frist time we went without dummy we went out & a little boy walked past us with the same dummy in his mouth so my DS1 took it out of his & went to pop it in his own mouth, lucky the other parents could se the funny side in it.

We tried Santa, & put up with the crying till he got chicken pox new years eve & gave it back.

Our last try was we got him to put it on the door step for the baby bunnies at easter, & in return they would give him a present, it worked. Every time he saw bunnies he asked it that was the one that got his dummy.

I have learnt over the years & 3 kids later not to get hung up on dummy's, bottle's & toilet training.

Do what works for you & good luck

you are a braver woman than I. tom still has his and is VERY attached to it. He "normally" only has it for bed time....but it refusing to cough it up now   When he is ready he will come to me and give it to me to put safe. I wanted to be rid of it by his 2nd birthday but cant see that happening.

There are worse things to worry about. Its just a shame James wont take one as Tom is now going through a phase of anything that James touches he dosesnt want....eg the highchair "Jamesy's highchair", bibs! "Jamesy's bibs" Even nappies got a second look when James graduated to L ittis.....but unfortunately he decided he wanted nappies anyway....but the "sucky"...nope thats Toms!
