My LO has had a dummy since birth, only for sleeps but she is very dependant on it to go to sleep. I have a new baby due when she is 23 months ans as LO wakes me in the night once or twice for her dummy I need to wean it before new baby comes along... I have tried cutting the end off and getting smaller and smaller but she still wakes and asks for it
I thought she would reject it and go cold turkey but she likes it! so fri I think I will go cold turkey but I am really worried about how long she is going to cry for, she is too young to do the whole dummy fairy thing as she does not understand this concept which is a shame as thats the route I wanted to go down
has anyone got any experience of weaning it at this age? how long did LO cry for? and how many nights were unsettled?
she would not sleep for her naps with the cut dummy so I am also worried about that, as she normally sleeps 2-3 hrs in the day with a dummy
look forward to hearing any experience
