Guys I really need some advice please....my little boy is 3 yrs old and will only use a dummy at night to fall asleep. Today we saw the dentist and he said to stop it because it effects the jaw. How can I reduce it and is this true in your experience?? Xxx
Hey, yes it is true it can affect babys jaw and the way teeth can grow he can have a big gap between he's front teeth in the future. What I did with my son I took all the dummys at night while he was asleep and told him that dummy fairy came and took all the dummys and left a toy instead which I bought a car for him. So try and do this otherwise it can lead to problems with his jaw xxx
Cold turkey is the way! It can be hard but totally worth it. Easier said than done but don't give in and give it back. With both of mine we did cold turkey for 3 days and they both never mentioned a dummy again after that. They both ended up cuddling a teddy more in bed which is much better xx
