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
