Getting rid of the dreaded dummy!

Has anyone got any good advice for getting rid of the dummy? I’ve started to tell LO a wee story (made up!) about how the Christmas fairy will come soon to give all her dummy’s to a new baby because she’s a big girl now, but not sure how it’s going to go when I actually take them all away! She only really has her du...

Postpartum Night Sweats

For those with a baby that sleeps for longer stretches
