taralee - aston still has his, for sleeps. I have decided that it is going to Santa, so as we get close to christmas we will start the whole conversation about giving Santa his dummies to take to the babies, and that Santa will leave him something special for doing that. I did the same thing with Laura, but it was Easter bunny

at the same age. Nathan- I took his away when he was 7mths old under the mistaken idea that he would suddenly start to sleep through the night because he didnt have it! Didn't work, he still didnt sleep through the night til he was 11months

Are you contemplating getting rid of Evies?

Thats a great idea - giving it to santa. i was going to try taking it away ages ago but then when i found out i was pg i thought i'd keep it since a) i needed the sleep and b) i didnt want to go through changing heaps of stuff when there was enough change in her life.
but we only have it for sleeps too.
I heard of 1 thing to do is before they go for a nap to tell them that you're going to either hang the dummy from the tree or bury it for the fairies, which they can do themselves, then they go and have their nap - sans dummy - then when they wake up go back to the tree/burying spot and there's a little present for them. but yes, i think i will have to wait until she's a bit older for that to work!!

Also, how do i tell if she has a tiny giny infection? she seems to be grabbing at it, and wanting her nappy off and it looks a little red...lol i think i may have answered my own question
