Getting rid of your child’s dummy can be a daunting prospect, but never fear because this podcast covers all you need to know about why, when and how to ditch the dummy – this is what we cover:

  • ‘Long term’ dummy use and what issues it might cause over time?
  • The age you should look at ditching the dummy.
  • When the best time is to do it (and when shouldn’t you give it a go?)
  • Judgement (that old chestnut!) by other parents, family, friends and why you should ignore it.
  • The first steps in getting rid of the dummy and whether it has to be ‘cold turkey’.
  • Supporting little ones who don’t understand.
  • How long the whole process tends to take, and
  • How to answer the question about where all the dummies go!
