Florrie the Dummy Fairy

Product Information

From 8 months to about 2 years you may wish to teach them to find and replace instead of taking away the dummy. It is a lovely skill to teach over the period of a week. First, would you take a little advice from a seasoned Fairy Godmother? Approach this magical milestone with a very light tread. Your child is so very young, blessed with a brand new heart full of hopes and dreams and trust. Take care that all that hard work you have done so far to keep that heart in tact is not dashed away just yet by a heavy footed Fairy on a mission. But ask yourself this: If it doesn’t work, does it really matter? If you have to wait a little longer for your child to give up their dummy, does it really matter? If your sweetheart is happy and comforted, does it really matter? In the morning, your child can wake to the gift or note and the vision of glitter or ‘fairy dust’ perhaps with some little foot prints left behind to affirm the visit. You can talk to your child about the dummy fairy’s visit and perhaps if required, leave another note from the dummy fairy the following morning again to reassure your child that they no longer need their dummy and that the dummy fairy is so happy to see that they are being a big girl or boy no longer needing a dummy. Babies in need

Start weaning your child by not offering a dummy when they are in stress-free situations and use only at night the few days leading up to the Dummy Fairy. This set includes a small hamper. It’s big enough to take both Dummy and reward, and tied with organza ribbon and a Dummy Fairy charm. There is a pot of sparkling Fairy Dust too. Plus a printed Dummy Fairy Poster and an exclusive copy of the Fairy Nice times, with which to begin your adventure. Have you heard the story that goes with this Dummy Fairy set?On the day of, collect all dummies together with your child and place them in a special bag or container next to their little belle fairy house (www.little-belle.com) For babies that love their dummy, it brings them comfort, and it’s likely with that comfort they can soothe, calm and drift off to sleep. Fab! However… as they enter the deeper stages of sleep, their muscles relax and the dummy is likely to fall out. Ok, so, what does this mean in reality? Typically, one of two things will happen, they’ll stay asleep (amazing), or wake (not so amazing). If they wake, it may be either immediately or after their first sleep cycle. If the baby doesn’t notice, great! It’s likely to be a helpful sleep aid. However, if they wake either immediately or soon after it falls out then we need to rethink how ‘helpful’ it actually is. The most popular approaches often involve the use of a favourite character. For boys and girls, the dummy fairy is a favourite. On the other hand, you may wish to involve a favourite toy character or holiday figure such as Santa, the Easter bunny, or a hungry Halloween pumpkin ready to have the dummies popped into its gaping mouth. There are lots of fun ways to involve your child in the process. What would be a suitable gift do you think? For me it would have to be something that can offer a little of the comfort that the soother provided. Perhaps a cuddly toy or teddy bear. The Dummy Fairy will be simply thrilled with the wonderful gifts your child has left for her. Like all good Fairies, she is sure to remember her manners and leave your little one something in return.

Not only can your baby become dependable on the dummy as a soothing mechanism, but it can also affect growing teeth and stop their tongue from moving freely as they grow older. The dummy can also impend their ability to chatter as they’re starting to speak and slow down their speech development." Signs that indicate it might be time to take away the dummy I also have a gift for you. Further on in this blog you will find a FREE printable Dummy Fairy letter and certificate. Just my little contribution toward your enchanting childhood memories. The dummy fairy collects dummys from toddlers all over the world and gives them to babies who need them (wink, wink).
