A Change... My daughter had a dummy till she was 2.2 and we desperately wanted to get rid of it, we restricted it to in the bed, then she would be found in the bed during the day!! She had started waking in the night if it fell out and screaming until she found it again. Her speech was not benefitting from having it and it was driving us all mad. Anyway i read that a change of scene was a great time to forget it! so we went to stay with my parents and didn't take it with us! my mother nearly had a sense of humour faliure!! but my daughter was fine - we told her that we had forgotten it and if she could go to sleep with out it we would take her to the toy shop in the morning to buy a new toy to have in bed with her! And we really did not have one to give her. It worked, the next day she bought Winnie the Pooh who still sleeps in her bed and she is nearly 3 now. she has never put a dummy back in her mouth. I hope this helps
