s/o When did you get rid of the pacifer? Clicky poll

RJMbim · May 2010

I'm trying to decide when we should boot the paci; right now she "needs" it to get to sleep. I know for sure that one of her siblings used her's until she was 3 1/2 & well I definitely don't want that.

Barrett still has his paci (although less and less) at 21 months...

KatieRL1979 · May 2010

At 14 months she still uses a paci to go to sleep. If she doesn't drop it completely by herself by 18 mos then we'll probably take it away at that point.

Echowysp · May 2010

Adam has his paci mostly at night at 18 months.

thanxbaby · May 2010

We didn't get rid of it until almost 21 months because she was using it as more of a teether but really chewing on it. I don't get what the rush is at 12 months though to get rid of it, DD would have been devastated.

MegGary · May 2010

Still uses it at home at 22 months.

raya · May 2010

DS still uses it and is as addicted as ever, He's 19 months. We want to wean but I'm scerrrrrred.

TexaCali · May 2010

DS only wants it when we go out (I guess like a security blanket) and at night. He doesn't use it to go to sleep but if he wakes in the middle of the night he wants it. We plan to wait until he is about 18 months to start working on getting rid of it.

Osco13 · May 2010

DS is 20 months and uses his binky only at night. I'm not in any rush.

brideatbeach · May 2010

Dd still uses it but only at bedtime and naps. That is the only times she has ever really had it so it does not bother me.

busywifey · May 2010

still has it but only give it to him during naps and car rides

PMJacobsen · May 2010

charlie still uses his, but only at sleepy time. he's 19 months.

busywifey · May 2010

oh and bed time!!!

digginja · May 2010

Everyone can flame me...almost 2 still using paci for naps and bedtime.

mrs.mickulz · May 2010

DD's 22 months today and still uses it at home and to fall asleep.

caymanbride · May 2010

Aidan still loves his, but he knows it stays in the crib and it's only for bedtime and naps. And with Baby Brother on the way, we're not getting rid of it anytime soon.

Jules122907 · May 2010

DD is 13 months and only has one in her crib. She takes it when she lays down for naps and bed but most of the time I find it thrown on the floor when I go in to get her up. We could probably take it out and I don't think she would make a big fuss but it doesn't hurt anything at this point in my opinion so we leave it in. We will proably work to get rid of it around 15 mo before the baby gets here when she is 18 mo.

KathrynMD · May 2010

Some nights she can to sleep w/o, others not so much. We have got it down to JUST the crib though, and occassionally as a sanity measure for the car. I need to just sack up though and cut it out in the car and the crib - I know she will probably cry a little, but it'll just be once or twice.

Mjmksb04 · May 2010

We ditched the paci at 7 months. It was the best thing we ever did, seriously. The transition was totally painless.

stfne · May 2010

DD uses it only for sleeping at 15 months. I'm so glad you posted this...I thought I was way behind the curve in getting rid of it, but I'm happy to see I'm not Smile

JessiRaye · May 2010

DS#1 Had a paci until his 3rd birthday! (He only used it at night. But still we should have gotten rid of it earlier! Embarrassed )

DS#2 never used a paci.

MEJ2008 · May 2010

Still using it at almost 18 months for bed/naptime. I haven't put too much thought into weaning.

ashg8r · May 2010

DD wouldn't take one until around 6 months, when we sleep trained her. She has only ever used it for sleep and sometimes she wants it when we get her out of her crib, but after a minute or 2 she drops it and we put it back in her crib. She's almost 15 months and I'm not sure when we'll get rid of it - maybe around 2? When she moves to a big girl bed? Haven't thought/stressed too much about it.

mabst196 · May 2010

Still going at 21 months. Its going to be soon.

LaLaSweets · May 2010

DD was never without her pacifier. We even had the little cute attachment thing to her shirt. After her birthday i noticed that she would misplace it and be ok about it. So one day we went to Sesame Place and I accidentally forgot to bring the paci. I thought that she was gonna freak out but she was great. I decided to not give it that night. She fussed a tiny bit but was fine. When she woke up in the morning I saw her looking for it. She started to cry but I distracted her and she as fine. We never went back!

johnsoar · May 2010

DD is a paci addict at 25 months...I hope to break her of it this summer.

goillini823 · May 2010

DD will be 22 months on Thursday. We are weaning from day time use little by little. She went without it the entire day yesterday which is awesome. However, at night we still give it to her to sleep, and dont plan on stopping that until later.

Tracey0329 · May 2010

My DD only used at naptime and bedtime, other than that we don't give it to her and that has worked for us since day one. We used to give in the car but just stopped one day when she lost it so I know she can do it but she likes it so for now I am fine with it.

kabarbanel · May 2010

I said 3-6m, but DS weaned himself off it and turned to his thumb.

Rubygirl · May 2010

Still have it, though I try to limit it to nap/bedtime and the car. But then inevitably I'll let him have it when he's super upset or when we're at the store so it keeps the peace.

Amrice78 · May 2010

SS - we aren't using it anymore, but got rid of it at 21 months, without so much as a single tear.

WestCoastMommy · May 2010

Mason is 22 months and still has it Embarrassed

It needs to go like yesterday. He is so obsessed with it.

Valentine99 · May 2010

She's 21 months and she uses it for naps, bedtime, in the car, and when she's feeling sick.

KeepingItLowKey · May 2010

got rid of it 2 weeks ago at 19 months.

noah-bear · May 2010

DS has it still at 16 months. Only for naps, night and special times (fits in public, getting hurt, etc)

racegirl723 · May 2010

He's almost 23 m.o. and still uses his pacifier. He only uses it when he sleeps except when he's teething really bad, which he is right now. I had hoped to ditch it by now, but to me the paci is better than having to give him teething meds. I hope we can ditch it shortly after his b-day.

violetvirgo · May 2010

we only allow the paci for naps and bedtime (always have) and she's 19 months.

since it's only for bed time i see no real urgency to take it away.

CA2006 · May 2010

DS is 17 months and working on his last tooth until his 2 year molars. After this one comes through, we are planning on getting rid of the paci. He only uses it for sleep and naps.

mrsransom · May 2010

We got rid of Noah's right at 18 months. His daycare teacher did a great job of keeping it away from him except at nap time, but he was having it all the time at home, haha. He was pretty addicted to it! Our goal was always to get rid of it by 18 months, so we decided that we would start only letting him have it at night. He went all day without it at daycare for 2 days, not even using it at nap time, & only had it at night. He was doing SO well that we decided on day 3 to take it away altogether. He feel asleep fine without it & did great!! We had no problems whatsoever & it was seriously the easiest thing ever! I dreaded it & was terrified of taking it away, but I would have done it a couple months sooner if I had known how easy it would be.

If you are thinking of taking it away, I would advise you to try it & see how they do! You might be surprised like I was!

abrtpk1 · May 2010

Em uses it for naps and bedtime. She's not obsessed and rarely has it during the day. (sometimes she'll get one in the car if it's around her nap time...but she doesn't seem to really need it!)

JLW10 · May 2010

Aubrey still has hers and she's 14 months.
