was pregnant with my brother. I weaned my brothers kids off their dummies
when they were 2 and 3 years olds when they stayed with me for a week. I
know many others keep them this long or longer but I just hate the
things. I really am not trying to offend people I just think like most
others that it should be a personal choice and the way the research was
written makes it sound as though I am doing a diservice to my daughter by
not giving her one.

I would have been so upset were I your SIL. Weaning my kids off their
dummies would not have been your place, unless they asked you to do it.
Even if I had been planning to do it, I would have been furious that you
did it for me.


Oh goodness, wouldn't bother me a bit, if the kids were 2 and 3. I'm not a
fan of kids that old with binky's anyway. Addie already has hers longer
than Taylor did, and is much more attached. If my sister or good friend had
them for a weekend or week, and when I picked them up told me that she was
done with the binky, I'd be thrilled! It's not like giving them the first
bit of solid food, or their first step or something!
