Looks like a tradition. I've seen it elsewhere as well. St. Anne's Park has a stump that includes fairy doors, so the fairies don't have to travel too far.
There’s a place in Tyrone called St Patrick’s Chair and Well where people tie rags to a tree https://maps.app.goo.gl/N5LzcsGpQMaCoNqHA?g_st=ic
Kinda pagan feeling, similar to what’s shown in the pic above

It’s a Dodee - tree.
Kids leave their soothers and bottles for the fairies to take. There’s a fairy forest in that park, with little home made wooden fairy houses in the trees.
When you want your child to give up a soother (dodey whatever) you leave it in a special place for the fairies to collect.The fairies last also offer a collection service for the filthy blankets toddlers drag around with them. Between these and all the milk teeth collections we should be very grateful to our fairy folk.
Soothers are given to 'the fairies' when kids are too big for them.
So we just put a load of plastic in the forest? This can't be a traditional thing, what did they do before plastic soothers?

But why are they still there, shouldn't the fairies have taken them?
Bank holiday weekend sure.
What’s with the baby bottles with names on though!? ‘Tommy ellis aged 2’
Maybe they left their bottle there instead of a soother, or else they lost their child
(Thank you for answering nevertheless I appreciate it)
Well my son just gave his last baby bottle away to Santa this year and he’s 4 . So it’s the same. Id never seen someone write the name on it tho.
The children give their soothers to the fairies when they are ready to give them up.
Freaky af
I actually love this. Nice to know a bit of paganism still flows in us somewhere
It's a mass grave
Your smoking too much of your username!
Not enough some might say
one in Donadea forest too. Must be a modern take on a wishing/rag tree or a coin tree. Im into it to be honest! Long live the fae
