villa4europe Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Yeah this year is the year that santa is coming for my 2 year olds dummies, leave them on the table in exchange for a present We'll see how that goes... I'm hoping it at least starts with a bit of buzz this year and an inclination as to what's going on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 There’s a thing at Ash End Farm (2 mins from Bodymoor Heath) where you leave the dummies for the pigs (don’t ask me why). It worked with ours as a way for them to give them up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AlwaysAVFC Posted October 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2022 We were still concerned about my daughter this morning, but she seems to have come through it now. So, looks like some sort of bug rather than appendicitis. She's playing and arguing with her sister. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted October 27, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 27, 2022 Our two year old granddaughter was just sitting with me looking at photos and videos of herself from earlier this year, where she was in nappies and sucking a dummy - both now consigned to history. She's gone from 'baby' to 'toddler' to 'little girl' in the space of a few months. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of my kids did, neither did granddaughters 1 & 2. No. 3 did, however. She's different in other ways, too, e.g. she's now pointblank refusing to have naps. The more tired she gets, the more manic and hyper, eventually resulting in massive meltdown tantrums. The only way to get her to nap is a walk in the buggy (on the promise to go to a playground). An hour later she wakes up in a calmer mood, having completely forgotten about the playground. Dunno how long this trick will keep working. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I think both our kids were about 3 when they dropped theirs. In both cases blackmail was used at it worked very effectively. I hated them but they were a godsend when trying to get them both to sleep as babies, don't regret it one bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted October 27, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted October 27, 2022 My teenager turned out to have strep throat, possibly with a viral syndrome overlay. He's fine. Pediatricians are jam-packed this week. Parents hoarding cough lozenges again lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory and also having a 4 month old they don't at the start it comes later when the teething starts and the proper obsession with them comes after 1 not before The refusing to nap thing that money mentioned... **** hell it's killing me! I've actually ditched working from home now because she was causing stress between me and the wife, my little un is a terror over napping, she won't do it doesn't want to do it but she just needs it for her own good, goes back to nursery in January after 8 months off following thr birth of our 2nd and it can't come quick enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
