My DS was a dummy boy. At 15 months i decided to cut the tops off. So every dummy on the house had the top cut off and i told him they were broken. He accepted that and that was it.

I know of people who say santa is taking them etc like mentioned above.

Do you know anyone with younger babies. Naybe you could say that they need them and she might be willing to let them have them... we had it easy with dummies but bottles were hard to ditch here.
