well santa is taking ours this year in turn for presents, he only uses it when he is tired and even then some days he doesn't so if it keeps going that way santas got it half the time you will find the frogs leg in the mouth instead of the dummy, frog is a stuffed toy had it longer than the dummy that one is going to be fun thats for sure when it comes time

great advice

My son is 2.5 and still has his dummy! It's funny because my oldest had a dummy and when he was about 18 months old I just took it away one day and he never asked for it, so we thought it would be that easy with our second........wrong......!!  He has his dummy all the time and for him it's a security thing and I would never take it away from until he is ready!  He is also what is called a High Needs child, so taking his dummy away before he is ready would be disastrous for all invovled!!!

I too was of the opinion that dummy's were only for bed and should be gone by the child was 2 years old, but since having my second child I have changed my opinion and think that they are not so bad, he will eventually grow out of it or he will be old enough for me to explain why it needs to go.

My daughter was about 11 months also when she stopped having the dummy. I agree with what you have said, as we did the exact same thing. The only way we really stopped her all together was one of her toys had her dummy  now, and that toy was having it from then on, and she was fine with it.

i agree with you but keep getting a poor rating for sayingi don't them and if they are to be used then not past their first birthday. Same with bottles, weaning should begin at 6 months so they are off them by 1.  That's just my opinion though and I don't like them being just handed to a child without anything else being tried first to comfort the child.
