I’m going to have to try it. I can see my daughter telling me to go to Wal-mart and buy more. She’s done that before but I’m tired of the pacifier.

I’ll keep it in mind when we go to wean our daughter. She is 17 months. We’ve given her a blankie so she’ll have some “comfort” without her paci.

He still sucked it while he was sleeping, and the hole tore and broke off and lodged in his throat.

So… if you have a very stubborn, determined toddler like I do … make sure they DON’T continue to sleep with the snipped pacifier!

If only my kids were attached to pacifiers. DO you think it would work for thumbs? OUCH!!! BAD MOM!!!!

We went a different route with our pacifier weaning though which met with much success. My daughter was extremely fond of her pacifier and we told her she could have it until she was 3, and became a “big girl.” That when we turn into “big girls” the Binky Princess comes during the night and takes the pacifiers and leaves presents instead. So she got 3 fun presents, including one she could take to bed with her instead. The first night she woke up in the middle of the night sobbing like she’d lost a dear friend, but after that she was fine. We talked sometimes about how her binkies were living in a castle with a princess.

I don’t regret putting it off so long. She’s a very oral little girl and our pediatrician said it was fine. It was her comforter, and we needed to wait until she was a little older to take that away from her. I might have missed it more than she did. ;)

Eventually it just disappeared!
