When and How to get rid of the Dummy?

[helle]

DD1 & DS1 were about 2 1/2 I think when we ditched theirs, I did keep one in the cupboard for ages JIC but we never needed it. Pretty sure we just went with 'you're too big for that now', and I think one of them gave them to the baby animals (not for real )

My sister gave hers to the baby kangaroos, and my other sister I think to the Easter Bunny or something similar. Maybe you could aim for Easter? It gives her a couple of months to get used to the idea.

that's a good idea... bribe her with chocolate! XD

We did it when she turned two - cold turkey, no story about giving them to the sick babies in hospital or the fairies taking them (no offence if that's your bag, it just isn't mine ITMS). We just said 'no more dummies, you're a big girl now'. It was tough for a few days, and even months later she would still ask if she was really tired, hurt or upset. Best time to do it - when you're ready for a couple of rough days and feeling strong enough to hold out. And I agree with hj1981 that cold turkey is the best way.
Good luck!
