Understanding the right time to wean the dummy
Giving up the dummy is a important stage in your child’s development. Choosing the right moment is essential to avoid unnecessary upset and frustration. Experts explain that weaning occurs naturally between the ages of 2 and 5, depending on the child. To make it easier for your child to stop sucking their dummy, you can help them from the age of 2 onwards with a Clipp dummy , for example.
Experts also advise that after the age of 3, it is advisable to consult a specialist to help your child stop using the dummy.
Gentle techniques for weaning children off dummies
There are several gentle techniques to help wean a child off the dummy. For example, limiting dummy use to specific times, such as bedtime, can be a first step. Another method consists of gradually replacing the dummy with other comforting objects, such as a cuddly toy or blanket. The key is to be patient and gentle so as not to upset your child.
To date, the fastest, gentlest method is still the Clipp dummy and its weaning calendar, which involves your child in completely stopping dummy use within 4 weeks.
The advantages of weaning a child off their dummy
There are a number of advantages for your child’s development involved in weaning them off the dummy. Weaning promotes better oral health, reducing the risk of dental deformities and speech problems. It also encourages your child to develop self-soothing mechanisms without depending on an external object. These benefits contribute to harmonious growth and greater independence.
How to deal with crying and frustration
Weaning your child off the dummy can lead to crying and frustration. It is important to stay calm and comfort your child during this period of change. Giving them cuddles, singing lullabies or playing with with them can help ease tension. Consistency and patience are key to getting through this stage successfully.
Advice for parents: stay positive and patient
Weaning your child off the dummy can be a stressful time for parents. It is crucial to remain positive and patient throughout the process. Encouraging your child with reassuring words and loving gestures can make a big difference. It’s also very important to remember that every child is unique and that weaning can take time. The key is to remain consistent and not to become discouraged if things become difficult.
The advantages of the Clipp solution:
THE GENTLE WEANING DUMMY: The Clipp kit offers a gradual method for stopping the dummy, without removing it suddenly from your child. Your child keeps their dummy, but gradually loses their habit of sucking gently and naturally.
INVOLVING CHILDREN IN THEIR WEANING PROCESS: By taking the child’s emotional attachment to their dummy into account, Clipp helps them to stop by themselves, at their own pace. Each step is explained and the child is encouraged throughout the process, boosting his or her confidence.
A 5-STAGE PROGRESSION: Clipp starts out just like a conventional dummy, then the 5 shields are added gradually to reduce the length of the sucking teat. Each shield makes it more difficult to use, until the dummy is abandoned altogether.
APPROVED BY THE EXPERTS: Recommended from the age of 2 by health professionals, Clipp prevents the risks associated with late dummy use, such as orthodontic and speech problems.
A FRENCH INNOVATION: The patented and award-winning Clipp was designed by a dental technician and has already helped more than 20,000 children wean themselves off dummies.
