I am contemplating removing the dummy .

My problem is, DD finds sucking VERY soothing. Her eyes will roll back (like when she's about to go to sleep) when she's having a bottle, even if she just woke up. She loves to suck on anything, but the dummy holds a special place.

The reason I'm considering this insanity - frequent wakings from sleep (not just at night). I can be up usually 5+ times a night just to put in her dummy! And the day sleeps are not much better. I hover around her bedroom door at the end of her sleep cycle in order to put her dummy back in before she wakes too much and doesn't resettle .

She has been in bed since about 7 tonight and I have already been back in 3 times to put her dummy back in .

How can I get rid of it? If I go cold turkey, how many (sleepless) days and nights am I looking at? Any advise will be appreciated.
