Well I have decided thats it no dummies anymore! I think its why DS wakes in the night, cause its fallen out and he wants it back, and its doing my head in going in to him for that. Plus although I dont tend to let him have it during the day unless he is really grizzly or in the car (he can scream loads while your driving) I think it might be partially to blame for im not speaking yet, cause he makes grunting noises with his mouth closed instead. So last night when he woke up and cried at 4:40am I went into him and pulled his blanket round him and didnt give him his dummy. He cried for 10 mins, so OH said he would go into him. I told him just to tuck him in stroke his cheak but NO DUMMY. he was gone ages so I went in and told him to leave him and not to make a fuss, so we got back into bed and he cried another 10 mins but then stopped and went back to sleep. After that he just woke a couple of times with a squeal but went straight to sleep again.

This morning Iput his dummies away for good in a draw, so I will see how he gets on. Not looking forward to afternoon naps, as without a dummy he tends to just stand and scream till he gets it. then goes to sleep.

Dior is 2 in a few weeks and still has hers. she has it at night, infact she has 4 for bed so when one falls out the cot she has back up
and she has one strapped to her car seat, in the day she manages to find them but in the day i just keep them up in her cot. im not in a rush to get rid of them at night. but she is not having them in the day any more

I seen on one of those Nanny programs they left the dummies outside in a little bag for the dummy fairy to come collect them & replace the dummies with a gift Well sweet & seemed to work

Dionne

i seen one of them shows wobs, but the lady and the child burried them in the garden and put a plant there instead so the child could water them every day and watch his dummies grow into a tree. the next day the child was having a tantrum and start digging them up with a spoon

Wobbles

LMAO

Well they can't fly away & catch the fairy so might work better?

KIDS!!!! lol

Cat

LOL Dionne that made me laugh!

Iwould mind so much if he would stick it back in his mount himself at night, but he will wake up and cry for it even though its right next to him, he is just so upset at it not being in his mouth he closes his eyes and bawls.

Im not looking forward to car journys, he is so loud, its awfull when your confined to a car with it!

Amy has only just got rid of hers at christmas, she hung them on the tree for father christmas and went cold turkey without them, to be honest she was an absolute nightmare to go to sleep but once she was asleep it was fine- she doesn't even ask for them anymore. She only had them for bed at night anyway but my nephews teeth went a funny shape cos of a dummy, the front top ones went arched so i thought i might as well do it now.

Jack still has his, i may try him at christmas this year when he's 2

thats why im glad Colby has a dummy Adele sucked her thumb and stuck her label off her banket up her nose since about 3 month old, shes still doing it and her thumb she sucks is slightly bigger than the other one. When its cold outside the thumb she sucks gets all sore and horrible looking, but i cant do anything to stop her as i cant take the thumb away from her
