    hi bex82 thanks for that it great to know that by time the time he goes to school he might not suck it cause his friends dont my other 3 had dummys he was the only one that wouldnt take a dummy im just started to get my daughter mollie 22 months off her dummy during the day it is a lot easier than a thumb sucker to get rid of but fingers cross that he might stop in september when he starts full time preschool its attached t the school so he might stop when he makes friends and they dont suck their thumbs thank you for your reply
