My DS1 was 2 1/2 when he finally gave it up! I was so worried we'd never get rid of it. He unfortunately had a fall and injured his mouth and teeth badly and didn't want his dummy because it hurt so I hid them and that was the end of that LOL!
I have heard of others who have "given" their dummies to the Easter Bunny, Santa, etc. overnight and received a present the next day . I will be trying this with DS2
DD1 had hers until she was 3 and a half. One night she couldn't find it when going to bed so I told her I wasn't going to look for it and she'd have to go to bed without it. It only took her a few nights to come to terms with the fact she had no dummy. As I found her dummies I hid them from her and when I moved house 2 years ago I found them all hidden in a drawer
DD2 didn't have one from birth, she just didn't like it.
DD 'left hers on the table at childcare' on a Friday afternoon when she was 2.5. She was over it by the Monday.
DS one day decided he would throw his in the bin cause he dropped it and it got dirty. He cried for it for about 4 nights but then was fine. He was 3.
All of a sudden she has decided she loves it! Sleeps with it now every night I thought I had ducked the Dummy Bullet lol apparently not
My goddaughter gave hers to Santa on her 4th birthday, she only ever slept with them, but had to have one in her mouth and one in each hand lol But gave them to Santa so he could give them to other babies to use now that she was a big girl and didnt need them anymore
My DD is 8 months and I personaly cant stand them.. When we get to Canada next week we are taking it off her cold turkey... well before she can talk and tell us she wants it.
