Dummies anyone?

Think i like the idea of the dummy fairy now jake six month he chews everything with the teething so the interest in the dummy is less so don't think there any reason to take a dummy off them too soon but i wouldn't want him having it till he gets too old whats the right age to take it off them.

Most people I know have had the dummy fairy come for their 2nd birthday or Christmas nearest to 2nd birthday. Don't think I'd want Lucinda to have it longer than 2 years either.

I think Sam was just over the age of 2. He usually only had it for sleeping, but one weekend I remember he kept wanting it in the day, and that's whn I decided it was time to get him off them.

dummies yuk i hate them but i do use one for this baby.

I had to cos of his tongue tie he got terrible colic and used me for comfort all the time (sucking helps ease the pain) and even tho his tie was snipped he was still in pain so i reluctantly got one for him.

My other 2 are thumb suckers and its so much nicer, i wish bubs would do the same but i cant ditch the dummy yet. Im hoping for half term week when DH is off with us so ive got some back up.

i find the sterilising a pain too and taking a spare one with me and he always drops the blinking thing!

I use those dummy clip things that fasten onto their clothes and always keep a pack of Milton wipes with me for sterilising. Lucinda's sucking her thumb (and thumb and forefinger at same time!) more now so dummy is getting used less. But it's still incredibly useful for daytime naps. Infact I need her to wake up now to go to Rhythm Time but she's sound asleep. Poor little thing! Right, I'm going to gently rouse her...

How come they snipped the tounge tie as my little boy still hasn't had his done and they say as long as they can eat it doesn't matter were you told different?

You really ought to push for his tongue tie snipping because it can cause speech impediments if it's left. They might try and fob you off but it's worth pursuing IMO.
