Much to my personal dismay however, our children cannot stay babies forever. So the time may have come for the dummy to go. As that terrible day dawns, we set to wondering how we can perform this vanishing spell without breaking our little ones heart? Enter the Dummy Fairy Below are some more detailed suggestions for each approach, it can be an idea to make it as personal to your child as possible, use these ideas as a guide and create your own dummy giving experience. The dummy fairy Many of our customers have loved using this book together with one of our wooden fairy doors. The book can be read on the night that the Dummy Fairy is coming to your house and any time before or after that.

What would be a suitable gift do you think? For me it would have to be something that can offer a little of the comfort that the soother provided. Perhaps a cuddly toy or teddy bear.This set includes a small hamper. It’s big enough to take both Dummy and reward, and tied with organza ribbon and a Dummy Fairy charm. There is a pot of sparkling Fairy Dust too. Plus a printed Dummy Fairy Poster and an exclusive copy of the Fairy Nice times, with which to begin your adventure. Have you heard the story that goes with this Dummy Fairy set? As the time draws near, it is time to introduce a physical reminder that the Binkie’s days are numbered. Install a beautiful Fairy Door so that the Dummy Fairy can easily visit to collect the dummies. Talk to your child about the magical world that lies beyond the Fairy Door. And remember that lots of other enchanted visitors will be able to pass through this door for a visit long after the Dummy Fairy has been. The best time to wean from the dummy is when things are already going well with your toddler’s sleep and no major changes have been introduced to their life such as a new sibling or starting preschool.

Your child probably won’t find it easy to part with the dummy. So if you feel it’s time for the dummy to go, introducing the dummy fairy may be a helpful and gentle method to support this. Giving up the dummy can be difficult for a little one. Your Dummy Fairy set provides a sweet way for your child to gift their Dummy to the Fairyland babies and receive a reward in return. First, would you take a little advice from a seasoned Fairy Godmother? Approach this magical milestone with a very light tread. Your child is so very young, blessed with a brand new heart full of hopes and dreams and trust. Take care that all that hard work you have done so far to keep that heart in tact is not dashed away just yet by a heavy footed Fairy on a mission.

On the day of, collect all dummies together with your child and place them in a special bag or container next to their little belle fairy house (www.little-belle.com) Together, we have helped her find ways in which to calm herself. We put music on that she now listens to at bedtime, and we have extra books and cuddles in the lead up to down-time. She has also found ways in which to pacify herself when getting upset or angry for any reason. She loves her cuddly bunny Biggins and also her favourite red blanket. The going to bed routine is getting better, it is still not as smooth as it was pre-dummy, but then we’re still transitioning with daytime napping too so it’s a lot to take in. She’s now going to bed though without her dummy and when she’s asleep now she’s generally asleep for the whole night so she is getting better quality, unbroken sleep. Hooray! But there are some disadvantages to dummies. For example, your child might be waking a lot at night when they lose the dummy.

The loss of the dummy in the daytime went just fine, however at night in the first week or so it was a different story. Our little girl had trouble settling and quite often mentioned wanting her dummy. However, we knew we had to be strong and find her other ways of self-soothing. Of course we don’t like to see our daughter upset, but know too that anything that could potentially cause harm should also be taken away. If the dentist advises it, then we should definitely listen (in my opinion). If your child has a sibling or one on the way, this can be a great way to facilitate the separation. You can explain that dummies are only for babies and that it would be very kind if your child could give their dummy to the new baby or a baby they know. Your child can then gift wrap the dummy and present it to the new baby. If you don’t have any younger babies in the house, ask a friend or speak to your child’s carer or nursery worker about the concept and how they could help you to achieve the goal. Father Christmas is coming! The general advice is that you should aim to get rid of the dummy at approximately 6-12 months. After 12 months, it could start to affect their speech and also cause dental problems. However, many children tend to still have them into early toddlerhood, pre-school and beyond.We would reasonably expect any broken sleep caused by the change to gradually improve over a period of a few days to a few weeks,’ Trent explains. The poster and newspaper in this set help bring the story right into your own home. Then you can use your hamper to exchange the Dummies for sweet gifts of thanks from the Fairies, including the sparkling pot of Fairy Dust. And where do you find this story and printable letters? Our daughter would be the first to tell you she loves / loved her dummy. One was never far behind wherever she was. We decided sometime between 24 and 30 months we should try and stop using it, and first started weaning her off it. She got to the point where she used it for naps and bedtime only, as well as for long car journeys. It also came into play should she need the extra comfort in scary or upsetting situations. If something happened, or she was tired, she always used to call out for ‘Biggins (her comforter) and Dummy’. A dummy was also useful in taming toddler tantrums! As a Fairy Godmother your job is to bring love, light and laughter to your little ones life. If you have to use a few magical props along the way, then so be it. You really are doing the most fantastic job.
