The postman even left a thank you note.”– Sian Daniel's story : My son used his dummy both as as a tactile object with his hands and in his mouth when going to sleep. By age 2, we replaced that with a soft toy. He had two slightly upset days where he asked for it at nap time and then he completely forgot about it.I tied all the dummies to the cot so whenever he wanted his dummy he had to go nap time. After a couple of days he wouldn’t give up play time for dummy time!”– Suzanne It can delay their speech development. At this age, it's important for babies to practice babbling and talking often. If your baby always has a dummy in their mouth, they won't be able to practice as much, and their speech development could suffer as a result. Santa took it a few days before Christmas to prepare and freshen it up for the new babies that don’t have one yet. Three-year-old talked about it for a couple of weeks leading up to so no surprise.”– Rach Daniel and the Dummy Fairy Book is written by Australia Mama Leisa Papa with vibrant illustrations by Karen Mounsey-Smith.
