    My daughter gave hers to a little tiny baby who didn't have any dummies of her own.;) and the baby bought her a big girl present as a thank you for them.

    We had a bit of an upset a couple of days later one bed-time but we comforted her and she was soon fine.

    This was the thread I did.

    I've just re-read my thread and realised it wasn't quite the doddle I'd thought it was. I've always suspected parents of older kids have selective memories and now I KNOW they do-lol.

    DD is still attached to a particular teddy-bear and I wonder if it's the one she wanted when she gave dummies up.

    My DS (who is now 13... so it was a while ago ;)) had started using the toilet and went for a wee one night... with dummy in mouth. Guess where the dummy ended???:rotfl:

    He never had it again after that!

    I still have my teddy and am nearly 25! Its been everywhere with me including all my duke of edinburgh expeditions, I struggle to sleep without it (can manage the odd night if its teddy vs straighteners in my overnight bag):o

    my mum still let me have mine when I was 5 and had started school! Eek! I took my daughters dummies away when they were a year old! Was a really easy age to wean them off it,
    Lots of people seem to send thiers to the dummy fairy though.
