A tip I heard from a few mums / nannies was that if you make a snip at the end of the dummy, they quickly get bored of it - it no longer provides that soothing suck so they become disinterested. My son had a dummy which helped his reflux when he was little, but gave it up on his own when his teeth came through - he kept biting holes in them and ruined them.
