ditch the dummy?

[Anise3]

Crumpet i hate dummies, i hate evrything about them. I hate that there are kids that dont have any photos without the thing in their mouth, i hate that there are kids that are walking around with them in their mouth and i HATE that there are kids that learn to talk around them in their mouth. I think that they are dirty over used.... I DOUBLE hate them because people force their babies to learn to love something and then take it away or blame someone else for taking it away (ie santa, new baby, dummy fairy) I think thats just FERRAL and MEAN!!

I think that S is such a great baby for you Crumpet and that she would like you said learn to self settle super quick for you. Id ditch it now

Before you jump down my throat.....I have only ranted because i could that crumpet wouldnt expect anything less from me

Will you marry me?

Sounds like you just need to ditch it crumpet. If she's not using it from 10ish pm onwards, and sleeps right through, dude, you are on a good thing. She doesn't need it.

Give it the flick.

Do what I did - go cold turkey. Throw them all out (even the ones that have fallen down behind the cot/change table/couch) and just suck it up for a few nights and you'll be fine again.

I do hate the photos of DD that I see with her dummy in...

We had the same thing at around 6 months (without the sleeping through part!). I ditched them, cold turkey. First night getting him to sleep was a bit hard, but no more than usual. After that he didn't miss it.
