Many families use dummies to settle and soothe their baby, but research has shown that as children get older, a dummy can start to impact on their speech and language development.

Before they learn to talk, children babble – they try out lots of different speech sounds and experiment with them. A dummy can restrict the range of tongue and mouth movements and make it more difficult for them to do this.

At around 12-18 months there can be huge developmental changes in a child's speech, so it's recommended by speech and language therapists to start working towards getting rid of the dummy by this age.

Try to minimise the use of the dummy – can it just be kept for naps and bedtimes if needed?

Make sure that when your little one is busy playing, talking or sharing a story with you that they don't have their dummy in - these are great opportunities for them to try out new sounds and words.

Can you distract you little one or keep the dummy out of sight?
