Pacifier and teeth - when to wean dummy?
silvery-tamarin · 3/24/2026
2yo loves her dummy for sleep. Dentist said no issues yet but ideally gone by 3. How did you wean?

Cut tiny bit off the end each week. After a few weeks they don't want it.
Dummy fairy. We did it at 2.5 - she put dummies in a bag and 'gave them to babies who needed them'. Got a special toy in return. 3 rough nights.
Cold turkey worked - we did it on holiday so the new environment distracted her.
We waited until 3 and she was much more on board than at 2.
