Parenting Whine and Sympathy #2: Ditching the Dummy

Today we hungout on Google+ again – and thanks to Google I have a brand new, fabulous url, so come join us there:

Uber-cool if I do say so myself, and so much easier to remember that the one before which you needed to have a degree in mathematics to remember.

We had on the chat Mari from Mari’s World and Victoria from Love Being a Mummy. Sadly Victoria’s connection was a little bit insane, so she dropped off. However, we chatted and gave some excellent advice around weaning off dummy including:

Reducing dummies from three down to one
Substitutes for dummies
What do use if yo have a boy and he won’t get the dummy fairy!

So come and listen in and, hopefully, learn!

Thanks so much Helen & Mari. Just had chance to catch up and loving the stealing lol! I've managed to find a fabulous fairy door which I've ordered and a few toy fairies and will be using in a few weeks/months to remove the 'dodo's....so called as the plan was they were soon to become extinct - it's just taking longer

Glad you like it my dear - sorry you couldn't make this one - and good luck with the soon to be extinct Dodo!
