Taking dummy away

Hiya I’ve took my little girls away. She dealt with it well did cry a few times for day time naps but not for long, but was back to normal after about 3 days. With my son he was closer to 2 when I get rid and knew what it was and knew I wanted to get rid early this time is there anything else you’d like to know? We didn’t have any trouble at night time, she’s slept 12 hours though since 4 weeks old xx

@Rachel our LG has been a good sleeper too, but since teething she just drops her dummy out (or chews it until it drops out) and then cries & although she's sleeping through, we aren't 😅 do you think it was easier with your LG or your LB?

@Star little girl 100% I got rid when she had a cold as I remember with my little boy every time he had a cold he wanted his dummy, but couldn’t use it because he couldn’t breathe with it, it was a nightmare as they get lots of colds xx

@Star also my little boy knew what it was so we had to do the whole dummy fairy thing make it a big g thing whereas my little girl doesn’t know xx

@Rachel I like the dummy fairy idea. I loved my dummy as a kid & cried for it whenever my mum took it away from me. I was 6 with a dummy. So I definitely want to get rid of it sooner rather than later 😅🤦🏻‍♀️ Did you find your LG was more fussy during naps when you took it away? My LG wants to contact nap or she wakes up (usually I'd just give her, her dummy back, but I can't now it's gone so she stays awake)

@Star yeah she cried before every nap for about 5 mins but lasted 2 days. Honestly I would just do whatever works best for you my boy was harder at the age of 2 however he is 3 now and doesn’t have one and isn’t bothered about them now at all so they do all get there it’s completely what works for you. My little girl only has 3 half hour naps roughly but sleeps all night. If easier keep the dummy, the hardest time of day for me without her dummy is when I’m trying to get dinner done 😂 xx

I found the length of nap didn’t change with or without dummy x
