Hi everyone,
This is my first ever post so please, be gentle :)
I have an adorable baby boy (2nd baby) who is 7 weeks old today. In most respects he's fabulous but I made the mistake (?) of using a dummy to soothe him just over a week ago.
It worked like a charm but now I find, surprise surprise, that he will hardly ever go to sleep without it. This would be fine but of course every time it falls out of his mouth he wakes up and yells until it's put back in.
Does anyone have any advice on weaning a little one from using a dummy? I'm trying the cold turkey approach today and my ears are suffering!
Also, I have a toddler who sleeps next door to his room and she's a pretty light sleeper at the best of times. I'm worried that his yowling will wake her up in the night too...
Thanks for any help / support xxx
