MD, we have never done the dummy thing but one of the ladies at MG has just got her 3.5 year old to give up the dummy. They talked about giving it up quite a bit and ultimately it was the little girls decision to put it in the bin. I think there really has to be a level of commitment from the child. They have to participate in the act of giving it away without it being forced on them, just give her opportunities to make the choice. Talk about it every now and then to mentally prepare her for the idea?

If she wants to she can post it over for my new baby and I can send her over some big girl stuff like lip gloss, nail polish? or whatever.
