She will be excited for Santa! Get a freezer bag and let her decorate the bag and have a bow - on Xmas even she puts them in the bag and leaves them next to the milk & cookies for Santa to take for the other little boys and girls who need dummies Wouldn’t be embarrassed. Every kid grows at a different rate. My LB gave up his dummies only a few months ago (now 3.5) and it was just because I was to lazy to find one for bedtime so told him he didn’t need it lol

My little girl still uses her dummy. She’s sooooooo attached to it it’s unreal So your doing good if she only has it on a night xxx

@Stacey thanks hun. It's their comfort. Sometimes, we forget they are still small and need comforts. I just know it's time for her to stop now xx

My little girl is also 3.5, I took hers away November 30th (she only had it to sleep) and said she had to give all her dummies away for the elves to take them and make them new for all the Christmas babies, as she’s a big girl. She got a present left in their place December 1st. First 2 nights she was fine, next 2 were horrendous, she did not know how to relax without it, bed late and wakes in the night. Next couple of days just early wakes. Now it takes her a little longer than before to go asleep but she’s back to sleeping through :). X

We ditched it in October, because he was progressively getting more attached to it and it was creeping back into the day rather than strictly at night. Took him to build a bear and he chose a special new bear to shut them inside. We did a lot of talking about it before and that was his choice, rather than give them away, throw them away etc etc. It was SO much easier than I thought it would be. A couple of nights with some tears but no proper meltdowns about it. Longer to get to sleep, but he managed just fine. A couple more days where he mentioned/asked for it, but no tears. And then poof, like it never even existed. You can do it! Lots of positive changes since we got rid.
