Jodi, I know it has been only 2 days since I haven't given it to him, but I am so relieved, and I know that if I can get him off it, you can also get Nina off it too.
Does she only have it for sleeping? Cooper did, and you know the dramas I have had, but I really believe it has been the cause of most of the night waking (see how we go, but I will update you on this...)
I have just persisted with it, and whilst I have tried to do a bit of control crying (or is it comforting??), I knew it would be cruel if I was too full on with it, because he has just lost his dummy, and needs that comfort. So whilst I did let him cry, I went in when he was getting himself worked up, gave him a cuddle (and lots of little kisses on his face), so he felt secure.
So when you are ready for it, be persistant with it, because as the Tresillian nurse told me on the phone, it is worse to take it from them and then give it back if it is too distressing, because it confuses them. So once you make the decision, personally, I wouldn't go back on it. Maybe see if she can find something else that will comfort her (maybe something that you have worn, so it has your smell on it.)
Keeps us updated also. Thinking positive thoughts for you!
