Dummies at night

Ours is already in his own room and I’m regularly running across the landing 🤣 he also can’t put it back in by himself
That’s just the way it is unfortunately they are just at this age where they can’t put it back by themselves so you just have to ride that wave but it doesn’t take long before they can do it themselves
Cannot recommend going cold turkey enough. With my oldest, it took three days of tricky nights and then he learnt to suck his fist to soothe. Was the best thing we ever did. We did it after we moved him to his own room and we did a couple of nights of getting up to put his dummy back in, until we said, enough! And when you get rid of them, chuck them in the bin so you aren’t tempted to cave and give them the dummy. I promise it’s worth it!
@Kathryn what did you do when they start crying in their own room after you have got rid of the dummies? Did you leave them to cry until they settled themselves or did you end up going in? Do you think it would be worth trying to go cold turkey before they go into their own room? Sorry so many questions 🙈😂
@Annabel comfort with cuddles, but yeah, mostly a slightly ‘sleep train’ method of cuddles, then leaving for 1 minute, then repeat but 2 minutes etc. You could try and get rid of the dummy now, for sure! That’d help you I think as you’ll know they’re only crying for dummy. Then you can crack the room move 💪 you’ve got this xxx
Following this as I am on exactly the same boat and also not sure what to do 🙈
