A Personalised Book

ASSISTING YOUR CHILD TO GIVE UP THE DUMMY

There is a reason Americans call the dummy a pacifier. But is it named for its effect on the child or the parent? Either way, the time comes for the dummy to go. Use this book to make the difficult process easier and more fun.

The book also contains Practical Tips for Parents/Caregivers.
