I have just taken the dummy away from my 19th month old as he was dummy talking all the time. I have had two other kids with bad speech problems and didnt want another kid with a speech problem. He's my last baby as i have had my tubes clamped and he has grown to quick it hasnt bother him having no dummy except once he was upset crying for his bott bott(thats what he called his dummy) I was upset. I wanted to give in and get him a dummy but i didnt. Being number 4 and my last i wanted him to be my baby  for a little longer but hes a big boy.
