We are currently weaning our 21 month old daughter off her dummy. Christmas Eve was the last time she used one, as we told her Santa was coming to take them away for all the new babies to use.
She understands this as she says, with a sigh "oh mummy, for the babies..OK"
Christmas Day was day 2 of this traumatic change in her bed time routine, and it was been very hard for her. To watch her is to imagine she is having withdrawals like a junkie coming off their last hit.
Thankfully as time passed so is her need for a dummy.
However its certainly made me rethink using one for the next baby, or perhaps we just take it away much earlier so the dependence isn't as great??
What are you experiences with removing dummies from your children's routine??
