A Nuk Thief

SNBelland

Today I went and picked E up from daycare and to my surprise I heard my wonderful little dude is stealing other kids pacifiers. I was kind of surprised at this since he never took one at home. Our daycare lady said he does this multiple times a day. Do I start buying Nuks or just ask her to try distraction techniques?  Any brand that you like?

In other news. This is our dog as the original nuk thief

Maybe you could buy him one and put it on a clip that attaches to his shirt. But that is weird about him stealing it from other children.

That's a ridiculously cute doggie photo.

My nephew was trying to steal LO's binky. So, my sister thought it was time to try again. He now loves binkies, and he did this at 11 months.

The other kids at daycare do this all the time.  They want something the other kids have.

I like the suggestion of the clip.  We have a first years which I love because its plastic.  We also have a booginhead, but its metal.  I have pinched DD before trying to get it attached.  She also likes to put the clip end in her mouth and I feel better about the plastic over the metal, although I try to discourage putting that end in whenever possible.

As for brands, we are a nuk family.  I have a jar of every kind.  She will suck on anything for a minute, but the nuk is the only one she will keep in long term.

Cute pic! My moms pup steals A's pacies. I think it's adorable but at the same time if I let him have one he will never learn they aren't his to have! Lol. I did get pics before I took it though!!! Hehe.

Mine is doing this too. He will pull his out of his mouth and take someone else's. My DCP said it was normal, he's curious etc. My other board that's a lot busier said the same thing so I'm not worrying about it. They should be able to handle it.

We use MAM but I think distraction would work better.
