Dummy Detox

Dummy, Soother, Pacifier; whatever name you choose these little suckers can be both a big help when it comes to baby sleep and a struggle. Millions are sold each year – they are not a bad thing by any means - and there are loads of reasons why they are a brilliant addition to the parenting toolbox. However, there are also several reasons why you might be thinking about getting rid of one, from having to be up multiple times a night replacing it to hoping that your child won’t go to school with one! So, in this episode we’ll take you through The Dummy Detox. We’ll also answer our listener Joanne’s question about getting her toddler to give up their dummy after multiple attempts.   1 – When to do it? 2 – How to do it 3 – Should I have given it? 4 – The Sleep Mums Golden Rule 5 – Should I replace it?
