Ashlea is 3 and is still so so attatched to hers, mainly for sleep though. If we are at home and shes tired she'll use it, but if we are out shes fine without it. I guess im just too lazy to bother with the upset nights until she got used to not having it.
We tried the give it to santa stuff but it didnt work.
Kelly, i also heard the snip the end off thing, havent tried it though. When AShlea popped hers i told her im not buying anymore so she doesnt care that its flat, she still loves it.
My friend had a brilliant idea but her son was younger. She kept a little bottle of lemon juice out of jesse's site near the sink, and every time her gave it to her cause it was dirty she would wash it then she'd put a drop of lemon juice on it so it tasted yucky. After doing this a few times he started to make the bad taste association with the dummy and no longer wanted it cause it was 'yuck'
