Ditching the dummy

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! Links:  The Lullaby Trust – Dummies and SIDS Our blog – Dummies and how to stop your child using theirs! Instagram - @bespokefamily / Facebook - @bespokefamily    Bespoke Family 1:1 Parent Consultations: https://www.bespokefamily.co.uk/parent-consultations   ‘Your Guide to...’ (our downloadable webinars) - get 25% off any guide with the code ‘PODCAST’
