Children are not only boundless happiness and joy, but also a heap of efforts with which at parents the head goes around. And, to give itself a five-minute break, they choose the most ordinary dummy in assistants. But time goes, the kid gets used to new ""girlfriend"" and does not leave her 24/7, making the juicy scandals concerning her absence. Here also the thought comes to parents: it is time to disaccustom the child to a dummy. But how to be, he so strongly got used to it that even with fight will not give it!
Why the kid gets used to a dummy
The Sosatelny reflex is one of main at the newborn. Mothers know that after the kid is born, he is put practically at once to a mother's breast to check this most sosatelny reflex and to control it further while mom and the child are in maternity hospital under observation of doctors. The further ability of the child to eat with appetite consists in this reflex and it is correct to develop.
Babies on natural feeding quietly do without dummy - to be put to a breast enough. And here bottle-fed babies or those who began to be disaccustomed to breastfeeding begin to drag everything that will get under a hand in a mouth to calm nerves, having sucked something. Most often own fingers of the child become object of sucking, and it is direct risk of infection with some infection.
The serious illness which the kid had recently can become the reason of strong accustoming. During this difficult period the dummy calmed it when to it it was bad therefore it strongly ""stuck"" to it.
In a stressful situation ""the silicone friend"" was always near and calmed him therefore the child does not wish to leave it.
Parents are strongly tired with continuous feedings, games, walks, bathings therefore they sometimes want to spend at least five minutes in silence, without shouts of the kid. And how to calm him? Correctly to push a dummy in a mouth. In other words, parents accustom the child to a pacifier, thereby complicating themselves life.
When it is necessary to begin to disaccustom the child to a putyshka
Most of kids refuses a dummy when they are 1-2 years old. Yes there is only nothing to be happy here, to begin to disaccustom it is necessary even since three months, and it is necessary to manage to make it about one year! During this period the easiest to accelerate breaking process, the child becomes more senior, the heavier to accustom him to something or on the contrary, to disaccustom.
The most interesting, many lyalk are ready to leave a dummy during from three to six months, but, unfortunately, not all mothers notice it. And during this period the breaking from a pacifier takes place less traumatic for the kid.
So if you noticed that your child became interested in something stronger, you seize the moment and hide a pacifier far away, maintaining the interest of the kid in a new object.
How to disaccustom the kid to a dummy
For certain age there is the technique. If you started process of breaking from a dummy at an early stage, then we will begin with the sparing technique which is applied from a year to one and a half years.
Smooth refusal of a dummy

Sharp refusal of a dummy
The second technique is intended already for kids of one and a half years and is more senior, and it consists in sharp refusal of a dummy. At this age children already begin to understand well the parents so let you are not frightened by such name.
This technique offers you three options of actions, you need to choose one of them:
- To hand a dummy to the newborn the baby. The point is that your child already realizes that he became an adult and it is not necessary to him any more. And here the dummy is obviously more necessary to the baby who was born recently. Therefore to leave the ""the old friend"" will be not difficult for the kid.
- To send a dummy to a long trip or swimming. Explain to the kid that his dummy is very necessary to a little small fish who cries; or to a hare little coward which only the dummy can save from Barmaley's scratch-cat.
