I think the transition will be tough but they will adjust

I had planned to get rid of dummy at xmas, but around november he had chomped it too hard n split it. I left him with it for 1 day saying look its broken now so thats it. And he took it upon himself to throw it in the bin and since then he has slept through the night no problems no waking nothing. Before that he was up constantly, was my worst sleeper!

One loved it until 6 months the other I had despised it and would not take it

I'm thinking of trying to take it away from my little boy at night time once he's asleep soon to see if he can go through the night without it as he will be 3 soon.

We strictly only have dummy for naps or to get her off initially. We don’t have it in the cot. That worked with our son and he never needed it in the cot and never was reliant on it. Didn’t notice when we took it away

Our boy is nearly 2 and we’ve just got rid of it. He took it like a champ and has slept through every night since. He’d often wake up looking for it
I think we could have done it a lot sooner!
However he did only have the dummy for nap/bedtime so he wasn’t dependant on it.
Good luck mama!
