Best way to get rid of dummy?
My daughter is approaching 3 (july) we have just come back off holiday and i decided that when we got home her dummy would not be used other than bedtime, she used to have it during the day, at first if she was tired or hurt herself but recently it got to the point when she wanted it ALL the time, today was the first day without it, she went to playgroup and was fine when she got home but when we went out in the car she kept asking for it, she eventually fell asleep without it, when i bought her in from the car she woke up and had a MASSIVE tantrum because she wanted her dummy, she was hitting me repeatedly and got very angry......anyway eventually i managed to calm her by doing a jigsaw together and she is now playing in the garden happily.
Q. Any good tips on how to cope, things to distract with etc and just to share your experiences with me so i know i am not the only one going through this!!
I had problems with my daughter giving up her paci so I kept telling her that she could use it to go to bed with but once she turned 2 she could not have it at all, I would tell her all day long, every nap, bedtime everything remember no more paci after your birthday. The day after her birthday she asked for it and I told her she was 2 now and so she could not have it. That was enough of an answer because she had been told so many times that that was what was going to happen. So since you have her birthday coming up maybe you could do the same thing,let her use it to go to sleep now but then tell her after her birthday she is a "big girl" and big girls dont need it anymore so it will have to go bye bye. Hopefully that would work for you too!
Good Luck!
