I will have to go and read your post. I loathe well meaning, but annoying advice! 🙂

Thank you. It’s funny, isn’t it, how things like dummies, bottles, how we feed them, where they sleep etc can bring out such strong opinions! Colic is horrible. Poor you and Grace!

I wrote a post a few weeks ago dedicated to the nosey old bag to told my poorly 3 year old she was told old for carrys and dummies :/

As and when. We know best!

But bad colic and me not coping put paid to that and so Grace had a dummy until the age of 4. I am so with you though, I wish people wouldn’t judge and tell you what to do!! Thanks for linking to PoCoLo x

Of course as soon as he got home he was crying for his dummy and has ended up having it again. We too get the comments and the questions about when he will be giving it up!

At least I know I’m not alone in the struggle. Hope phasing it out goes ok for you x

Hopping over from #pocolo

Thank you! It’s definitely an interesting journey, this parenting thing. 🙂

I think as parents we instinctively know what our kids need and how we should deal with them… and when we don’t we ask for help. I don’t take kindly to strangers commenting on aspects of my parenting and I think it is plain rude. If I ask for opinions and don’t get the answer I want, well that’s my problem but until I ask I don’t welcome them! It sounds like M knows exactly what he’s doing and I love that you trust him him – I think you are setting the foundations for a really strong, respectful relationship. Well done xxx
