Little Kids: Ditching The Dummy

Welcome to This Glorious Mess Little Kids. A twice-weekly look at parenting as it really is - confusing, exhausting, inspiring, funny, and full of surprises. So many surprises! Dummies are a blessing. Parting with them was always going to be painful, for you and your little one. So when is the right time to ditch the dummy... or can we just keep them forever? In this episode, we bring in an expert to help us understand why our little ones might be reluctant, how long it can take to ditch the dummy and the best way to go about it.  Plus our WTFs of the week, Tegan has ditched the high chairs and Leigh has a daycare dilemma.  RECOMMENDATIONS Tegan: Petrol Station Apps, pay from the comfort of your car!  Leigh: Next kids clothing CREDITS Host: Leigh Campbell & Tegan Natoli Guest: Alex Trichilo Producers: Mikayla Floriano & Emma Gillespie CONTACT US Share your listener dilemmas with us!
