His love of the soother showed at The Baby Show. |
Today we went out to the shops and I decided this would be a good time to take it away from him. We left the house at just before 4pm with no pacifier. He was a bit grumpy at first but once we got to Tesco he was playful and smiling loads. When we got home he didn't seem bothered about lack of a dummy so since he had been so good I gave him a treat.
"Can I play Assassin's Creed with Daddy, please?" |
Sadly he did get grumpy just as I was getting him ready for bed and was a handful to get his PJs on, but he was calm after a kiss from daddy and a big cup of milk followed by his long-lost buddy... Mr Pacifier.
I do hope to rid of the dummy before he turns 2 years old so this is the start of a process I can bet will not be fun or easy!

We are going through the same thing at the mo. I font plan to have it gine completely till his two and a half but I would like him dummy free when his not going down for a sleep. I think it helps their speech to develop if they dont have a dummy. x
I think this actually made me realise I need to take action. For the past month or so he's been babbling with his dummy in his mouth and I cannot see how this could help his speech develop. Wish me luck!
Good Luck
I am bad mummy as my youngest 3 still has hers.
But there is light on end of tunnel - she has said that she is not taking it to her summer holidays with grandma!
I do have a rule that says she has to talk to us without it in and she does have long periods without it.
Love the blog
BNM
