Hi my name is thepixie and my DD is a dummyholic. It's been two weeks since her last dummy. She still asks for it several times a day (her favourite one, the 'onage' one), usually accompanied by tears. When she is tired or angry or hurts herself she asks for it. We have explained that she is a big girl now and doesn't need it anymore, but she is struggling with it. We stopped BFing at the same time and that doesn't seem to have caused anywhere near as much of an issue for her. I struggle sometimes to hold my resolve, sometimes because it can be a struggle to deal with a day of tantrums when I know if I gave her a dummy she would be a quiet little lamb, and sometimes because I feel for her finding it so hard to give up.
Anyone else going through withdrawal who wants to be my sponsor when I'm ready to cave?
