Emily rejected her dummy when she was only a few months old, as soon as she could direct her thumb into her gob with some accuracy.
She has a blankie she takes to bed, but she's only allowed to have it in the bed, not carry it around the house. She has her portable comfort item already in her thumb.
DH is really at me about the blankie, he doesn't want her to have it at all but I think it's ok for now. I am in no hurry to take it away with a new baby coming, she'll need it I think.
Mackenzie has just turned 2 and I'm trying to TT her at the moment so I'm not pushing the dummy issue with her. She only has it when she goes to bed so it's not too bad. I thought I'd leave it until Christmas and see if she will leave it for Santa or I really like the posting idea! I might have to try that one if I don't have any success. I also saw on the Nanny the dummy fairy - where they collected all the dummies, tied them to a tree for the fairy to collect at night and when they came out in the morning there was a present for the child. I think it was a doll which she could then take to bed.
