With keeping it to bed time we just said no dummy outside bed. And he wasn't allowed out of his cot, & later his bed, until he put the dummy down. Now we just have to get rid of the thing for good!

It's tough! DD only just got rid of hers at Christmas time.
We did the whole 'leave it for Santa and he'll give you lots of presents instead' trick. It worked!
I won't say it was a seamless transition, but she got there eventually and it wasn't a huge deal in the end.
We'd had a few attempts before this that ended in both of us becoming very distressed and causing sleep problems so we ended up giving it back to her (mainly cause I was 30 wks prg and couldn't handle the stress it was causing).

Why dont you buy a box for the dummy?...get your daughter to pick it at the shops.........and each morning, when she wakes up, the dummy goes in the box, and doesnt come out again till bed time....????? We did that with our DD #1.....it worked, eventually she would only have it at night , then Santa took the box away.
