Getting rid of the dummy! (Also posted in BIJune)
Today I decided to stop giving my LO (3 months old) her dummy because I feel like the reason she has been waking up in the night is because she wants her dummy...
It has just taken me AGES to get her to sleep for her nap (she kept crying because she was tired but she's used to having her dummy to settle her).
Does anyone have any tips that will make this easier?

Sorry I know this doesn't help but wanted to offer another perspective xx
I agree with maybe tackling the nights first and they days later if they're less of a problem
Sorry if not much help but sometime they just surprise us!!
I think we will still give her the dummy for daytime naps until she's 6 months, as that's when it's recommended to get rid of it completely.
Sophie... I did explain that I feel the reason why my LO is waking constantly in the night is so that I put her dummy back in her mouth, and that's the reason I don't want her to have it any more, we're both not getting enough sleep at night because of all this waking.
Good luck
(What does CC mean? :P)
I think tonight we'll try my LO without her dummy, and see how we go, but with daytime naps she really doesn't like to settle without the dummy, so we'll keep them for that for a while.

The cc will get easier too, the first couple of naps/sleeps are the worst and then they get better at it xx
