If I show her tr binky or sleepytot binkies she will put it in her mouth. However, no matter how hard I try to guide her hands to the 10 binkies in her crib (both sides, up by her head and by her arm) she will not reach for one by herself. I put her hand right on them and she will not pick it up.
Can she see them when you're doing this? What happens if you put one in her hand rather than in her mouth and rather than moving her body for her? DS would've had a similar reaction if I grabbed his hand and 'showed' him how to do it. By putting it in her hand, she's making smaller connections with information:
want dummy in mouth
dummy in hand, can put in mouth
want dummy in hand
dummy in cot, grab dummy
rather than expecting her to make the leap:
want dummy in mouth
move hand around, find dummy, put dummy in mouth
I guess an analogy might be reading - you don't give a kid a chapter book straight off, you teach them gradually with the sounds the letters make, then putting them together for short words, then longer words, then short stories with few words.
Something else to think about is whether she actually wants the dummy... Is there something else going on, like pain? I just find it unusual (I could be totally wrong) that a child who wants a dummy, has 10 in her cot and can see they're there makes no attempt to try to get one. That suggests to me that either she's so conditioned that you go in and replug that its going to take a while to work or she doesn't actually want it. It might meet a need (like if she has reflux, she reduces the pain when she swallows when sucking on the dummy) but it might not be the thing she actually *wants*. I think that given replugging only works sometimes, there's something else at play than just a dummy prop.
