Subscribing to this thread - my DS has just turned 2 and has his dummy for sleep, plus travelling longer distances in the car. But - similar to some of you - he wants it more and more often during the day, most likely because he sees his five-month-old brother with a dummy. I could be selling him short, but I just don't think he take too well to a "deal" to get rid of his beloved "dum-dum". I've actually no idea why he still wants a dummy - the two he has he sucked flat within the first hour of their existence!! Sigh ... looking forward to suggestions/tips also.
