Dummy
Show your support
My second is due in a few weeks. My little one only has a dummy at night. I thought about removing before baby but I think I will wait until we’re all settled and can support him better at night.
My little one is same age as yours and I have a 5 month old baby. We also didn't know what to do with the dummy but ultimately chose to let him keep using it but only for naps and night. I reduced them down to one which he has to keep safe as it's his only one. I got different looking/shape dummies for baby and I'm glad he has his own as he's fully aware his brother has one when he doesn't. One step at a time I say. We're aiming to have the dummy fairy come in the new year as that way he'll have had a good 8 months of being like his brother and as time goes on there's less of "baby has it so I want it too"
I wouldn’t take it away this close to baby coming, I think they say not to change anything 3 months before a big change, so they can adjust to one thing at a time. Like someone else said, try picking a different type of dummy for baby, but also baby might not even have one.
I’ve just had my second, I wouldn’t recommend taking it away if you’re going to give baby one as they just take there’s, give it a few months as there whole lives are about to change let alone taking away their comfort too!x
Does he sleep in his own room? I’d say take it away now and replace it with a teddy bear or something.
