Paci Poll

I kind of regret giving it to DS. I think he is way too dependant on it now & if it falls out of his mouth he gets soo angry (even wakes him up). Did anyone not give a paci as an option to LO.[Poll]

DS likes a paci about 50% of the time and then after that whenever I try to put it in his mouth to comfort him - he gets angry and spits it out. I feel lucky because the Pedi told me that at about 6 or 7 months you take the paci away. So maybe I won't have an issue weaning him off of it?? ::Crosses my fingers::

Never gave one to LO. She can't miss something she never had. Plus I just saw it as one less thing to wean from. I would have given her one if I felt that she really needed it though, but I went in wanting to avoid it if at all possible.

I tried with my DD but she had a very strong tongue thrust so it wouldn't stay in her mouth. I plan on trying with DS when he is born because it has been shown that a paci for naps and bedtime helps reduce the risk of SIDS.

DS is really good at self soothing, i do give him his paci - when he is falling asleep and its on the side of him in the morning. Usually he won't even take it - just spits it right out. I give it to him only if its absolutely nec. when we are out

My LO tolerates it...as it helps comfort her at at times and go to sleep. But as soon as she's sleeping she spits it out, thankfully!

I voted use it, love it. However, I only use it at bed time or at naps since our pedi said it can reduce the risk of sids. I've tried to give it to her a couple of other times during the day but she was never interested so I just gave up.

Originally I didn't want to use one but they gave him one in the hospital overnight. Now, I love it. DS doesn't use it that often but it comforts him when I can't.

I have not given one to DD and so far so good

he came back his surgery with it, without my permission, by then it was too late.

My DS only likes it sometimes. He does use it to fall asleep, but it doesn't wake him when it falls out.

I still love his paci, but he's outgrowing it slowly. He isn't as interested in it as he used to be. He now sucks on his hands. It's SO cute!

Thank God for DS's paci. I wouldn't have survived colic without it. He needs to suck to soothe, and I figure its easier to wean him from his paci than it is to cut off his thumb/fingers.

DD gets angry when I try to give her the paci. She screams bloody murder until I give it up!
