Dummies

Hi all, how are we getting rid of the dummy? I have 19 month old twins who only have a dummy for nap/bed time but I want to get rid of it completely without losing my mind trying to soothe them back to sleep a million times for ages 😅 (I don’t let them cry it out). Tbf my son sleeps really well and doesn’t really wake up in the night but my daughter wakes up often when she loses her dummy. I just woke up one day and decided to go cold turkey for the dummy in the day but I’m not looking forward to night time 😂Any useful tips or advice pleaseeeeee

My daughter adjusted better to sleeping at night without than at naptime. We did cold turkey because slowly weaning it was not working

Put a big hole in the dummy. I did this. My daughter used it until she was 2yrs and it was so hard. But slowly she lost i interest and 1 day she threw it herself out of franstration and I never bought her a new one. I told her we left it where she threw it. Goodluck

I got rid once he had a level of understanding. He himself put the dummies in the basket for the dummy fairy. We had maybe 2 rough days of him having meltdowns but eventually got use to it.

Not enjoying parenthood

Anyone else not enjoying parenthood as much as they thought they would? My little girl is 13 weeks old and screams inconsolably every evening. It's so stressful and really taking its toll on me and my partner as it's been like this for weeks now. I just feel a bit trapped and I'm not enjoying being a Mum as much as I thought I would. It goes without saying that I love my little girl so much, I'm just finding this phase so difficult

Not yet crawling

My November baby (24:11:25) has only just started sitting, not enough to be left alone sitting but he’s close he can roll both ways confidently but I’m worried he’s behind, I see everyone else baby crawling standing extra and he’s just not interested any advice?

Are you letting your LO sleep through the night yet?

We’ve been feeding at 11, 3 and 7 currently. We set an alarm for the 3am and feed him. I set an alarm for 7 and just wait until he wakes up which is anywhere between 6:30 and 8:30. At what point were they missing the middle feed?
