Babies aren’t usually able to find and replace a dummy themselves until around 6–8 months. Until then, if your baby relies on it to fall asleep, you are often the one putting it back in.
But does that mean you need to ditch the dummy? Not necessarily.
Our 2-page Dummy Guide will help you work out whether the dummy is still working well for your family or whether it has become a source of frequent night waking- and, if you’re ready to remove it, exactly how to approach it based on your baby’s age.
Inside the guide, you’ll discover:
When a dummy is working well and when there’s no need to rush to remove it
The key questions to ask when deciding whether to keep or ditch the dummy
What to do if you want to keep using the dummy, including how to encourage your baby to eventually replace it themselves
Age-specific strategies for dropping the dummy under and over 6 months
How to remove the dummy while still using it in situations such as the pram or car, if you choose
How to choose the right time to make the change and when it may be better to wait
What to expect in the first few nights and how to provide reassurance without reintroducing the dummy
A realistic idea of how long the transition may take
Most importantly, this guide reminds you that there is no universally right time to drop the dummy. If it’s helping your baby settle and everyone is sleeping well, there’s no need to rush. If it’s causing frequent overnight waking, this guide will help you make a calm, age-appropriate plan.
Keep it, ditch it, or work towards independence- you’ll know what’s right for your family.
