Bye Bye Beety!!
Well, after Jax got his whole dummy (beety) in this mouth yesterday, (I swear my heart stopped for a minute) I have taken the brave step and not given him it tonight.
He's been in bed since 7.40, settled at 8.10 (after a nappy change, why does he wait until he's in bed?!) he's been up twice, only for a few minutes, looking for his dummy.
I feel really really bad about taking it from him, I could hear him sigh when he couldn't find it Someone reassure me I've done the right thing!! He didn't really need it in the beginning, I kinda kept giving him it until he took it! How old was everyone elses Lo when the stopped the dummy?xx

Can I ask how old he is? Thinking about weaning Ava off hers but not sure if its a bit early - shes almost 9 months!
Its a big decision to make and Im sure its the right one if you felt it was right to do now. Just remember that you will have moments when you wished you still had it but they are few and they pass.
He will forget about it really quickly (how old is he?), it may take a week or two but every day will be easier so hang in there.
good luck, hope it goes well

Happy birthday to your LO Mrs Amanda. Mel7, he's almost 9 months.
It went really really well, he woke a bit earlier this morning, 7 am instead of 8am, so can't really complain. He also managed a morning nap without it, so I'm feeling pretty positive!! HV said it may take a few days and to make sure he doesn't see it!!We'll see how the next 48 hours go!!xx
well done to everyone who has managed it. im obviously just weak!!!!
Today has gone just as well, I'm a bit suspicious....!! He actually went down easier tonight, no standing up in the cot or launching the dummy across the room and laughing at me trying to find it!! I have had to give him his tagggy to hold the few times he's stirred, I wasn't quite sure how to settle him but that seems to be doing the trick!!
His naps were a little shorter, so he had an extra one, 3 half hours. But all seems well!! Feeling very proud of him!
